Adjusting brightness and colour
Selecting a light source (White balance)
The colour of your photo depends on the type and quality of the
light source. If you want the colour of your photo to be realistic,
select an appropriate lighting condition to calibrate the white
balance, such as Auto WB, Daylight, Cloudy, or Tungsten, or
adjust colour temperature manually. You can also adjust colour for
the preset light sources so that the colours of the photo match
the actual scene under mixed lighting conditions.
