The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human
brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white
objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent
lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment
by processing images according to the
color of the light source. This is known as "white balance." For natural colors, choose a white
balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although
the default setting,
Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, the white babnce
setting suited to a
particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results.
