WB: Setting the White Balance*
White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white instead of
having a color cast. Normally, the < M > (Auto) setting will set the
correct white balance automatically. If natural-looking colors cannot be
obtained with
<M >, you can set the white balance manually to suit the
respective light source. In the Basic Zone modes,
< M > will be set
automatically.

the actual light source to be used.
