Adjusting Color (White Balance) - Olympus E-PL6 Instruction Manual

Adjusting color (white balance)

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.
