White Balance - HP Photosmart R717 User Manual

White Balance

Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For
example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is
more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may
require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the
camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that
whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust
the white balance to produce creative effects. For example,
using the Sun setting can produce a warmer look to the
image.
