B: Matching The Light Source (White Balance) - Canon EOS Rebel T6i W Instruction Manual

B: Matching the Light SourceK
The function adjusting the color tone so that white objects look white in
the picture is called white balance (WB). Normally, the [Q] (Auto)
setting will obtain the correct white balance. If natural-looking colors
cannot be obtained with [Q], you can select the white balance to
match the light source or set it manually by shooting a white object.
O Custom White Balance
Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance
for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure
under the actual light source to be used.
