    Isn´t there some kind of automatic preset, where you get what you see? That in the LCD of the camera you see the same light, whitebalance and colours, that you see woth your eye? I always have the problem of getting the right picture. And in the computer the picutre looks different than in the LCD.

    use K (Kelvin) if you want to customize or further control the light color besides the configured defaults for Sunlight and Indoor light. Some could use this to do special colorization. The B option is just another setting you can preset to and select later, thus you can store or save two settings.

    actually spelled Kelvin. You can use this to really customize the color to your preference. Some like warmer colors than pure white, etc.
