Using Natural and Artificial Lighting
(WHITE BALANCE)
With a normal camera, a white subject may not be reproduced as white depending on lighting around
the subject.
Digital cameras have a function called White Balance, which automatically adjusts white balance so
white subjects are reproduced as white. At purchase, the White Balance is set to "AUTO"; normally you
does not need to change the setting, but if the camera is having difficulty adjusting, please change the
setting.
