The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in
the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the Auto [Q]
(Ambience priority) or [Qw] (White priority) setting will obtain the
correct white balance. If natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with
Auto, you can select the white balance to match the light source or set it
manually by shooting a white object.
In Basic Zone modes, [Q] (Ambience priority) is set automatically. (In
the <P> mode, [Qw] (White priority) is set.)
