Adjusting Color (White Balance); White Balance - Olympus TG-6 Instruction Manual

Adjusting color (White balance)

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