B: Setting The White Balance - Canon EOS 5DS Instruction Manual

B: Setting the White BalanceN
White balance (WB) is for making the white areas look white. Normally,
the Auto [Q] (Ambience priority) or [Q
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.
<A> is automatically set in the [Q] (Ambience priority) mode.
