The UV and skylight are interchangeable with AWB, but with
DWB selected, the color balance will be very slightly warmer
with the skylight... Neither usefully blocks UV, since the lens
glass does that fairly well. Try the polarizer for slightly
increasing the saturation of colors, useful with one-chip
camcorders (which don't have the saturation of
good 3-chippers...).
