White Balance (WB)
White balance (WB) is a function that corrects the color cast produced by the light illuminating the subject.
It corrects the colors so that white objects appear in white to make the overall color closer to what is seen by the eye.
Normally, you can use auto ([AWB], [AWBc] or [AWBw]) to obtain the optimal white balance.
Set this function when the coloring of the image is different from what you expected, or you want to change the coloring to capture the ambience.
