White balance (WB) ensures that white objects in images recorded by the camera 
appear white. [AUTO] is suitable in most circumstances, but other values can be 
selected according to the light source when [AUTO] fails to produce the desired results 
or you wish to introduce a deliberate color cast into your images.

Display the live control and select the white 
balance item using 

FG.
