Selecting the white balance according to the surrounding lighting ( )
When daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on
white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for
each. People’s eyes recognize white objects as being white irrespective
of the surrounding lighting, but with a digital camera the color needs to
be adjusted to suit the situational lighting so that white objects appear
white in the picture. This adjustment function is called “white balance”.
