Why are there two options for auto white balance on the EOS 800D, which one should I use?

Brian Says… By design, Canon keep warmer tones in the shot when it appears to be lit with warm tungsten lighting. To some reviewers, this was a negative, so auto white balance with white priority was introduced to give a technically accurate, neutral white in such photos. If you like your indoor photos to look warm, use AWB, if you prefer whiter whites use AWB white.

standard auto white balance keeps the warm ambience of photos taken in tungsten light
