White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally,
the <Q> (Auto) setting will obtain the correct white balance. If
natural-looking colors cannot be obtained with <Q>, you can set the
white balance manually to suit the respective light source. In the Basic
Zone modes, <Q> will be set automatically.

Press the <n > button. (9)

Select the white balance.
While looking at the LCD panel, turn

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with
software to make the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as
the basis for the color correction. The result is natural-looking colors in
the pictures.
