Selecting a light source (White balance)

p A h n d v
The color of your photo depends on the type and quality of the
light source. If you want the color 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 color temperature manually. You can also adjust color for
the preset light sources so that the colors of the photo match the
actual scene under mixed lighting conditions.
