Shooting techniques
The color of the subject that you see will be
captured according to the lighting
conditions. Under the bright summer sun,
everything will appear bluish, under a light
sources like a light bulb, white objects will
appear will appear reddish. The human eye
has an excellent ability to adjust. Even when
lighting conditions change, the eye can
adjust and recognize the correct color almost
instantly. However, digital still cameras are
greatly influenced by light. Normally, this
camera adjusts automatically, but if you
notice that the color of the entire image
seems to be a bit unnatural when replaying
an image on the LCD screen, it is
recommended that you adjust the white
balance.
