Canon EOS 80D - Setting the White Balance

162
White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally,
the Auto [
Q ] (Ambience priority) or [ Q w ] (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, [ Q w ] (White priority) is set.)
