If you want the color of your photo to be realistic, select an appropriate
lighting condition to calibrate the White Balance, such as Auto WB,
Daylight, Cloudy, Tungsten, or adjust color temperature manually. You
can also adjust color for the preset light sources so that the colors of the
photo match the actual scene under mixed lighting conditions.
