Setting the White Balance
For the truest color reproduction in your photos, the HP PhotoSmart C500 Digital Camera automatically adjusts the
balance of colors to make a true white in different lighting conditions. You can manually adjust this setting to have
the camera compensate for specific lighting conditions. The white balance setting remains the same until you
change it, even if you turn the camera off.
