White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the
light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, select a white
balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.
Although the default setting, Auto (normal), can be used under most types of
lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source
to achieve more accurate results.
