White
Balance
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
by processing images according
to
the
color
of
the
light
source. This
is
known
as
"white balance./I For natural coloration, choose a
white
balance setting
that
matches the
light
source before shooting.
Although
the
default setting, Auto,
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.
