WB (light source)
The white balance represents the light source that influences on the colour of a photo.
The colour of a photo depends on the type and quality of the light source. If you want the
colour of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the
white balance, or adjust the colour temperature manually. You can also adjust colour for the
preset light sources so that the colours of the photo match the actual scene under mixed
lighting conditions.
