Keeping Colors True: The White-Balance Menu
What Is “White Balance”?
The color of the light reflected by an object depends on the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to detect and compensate for such changes in color, with
the result that a white object will look white to humans whether viewed in sunlight,
under overcast skies, or indoors under incandescent or fluorescent lighting. To a
camera, however, the “whites” produced by these different sources of light vary in
color, some being slightly blue and others yellow or red. A digital camera can adjust
colors according to lighting so that colors that appear white to the human eye also
appear white when viewed in the final picture. This adjustment is called “white
balance.
Choosing a White Balance Setting
In auto mode, white balance can be chosen from the
white-balance menu (in other modes, white balance is
adjusted automatically according to the type of scene).
The following options are available:
