White Balance

Have you ever wondered why pictures taken indoors sometimes
come out looking yellow? The reason is that different lighting
sources produce different colors of light (a flash bulb produces a
very white light, while a 100 watt incandescent bulb produces a
very yellow-looking light). Our brain automatically adjusts the color
so that a white object always appears white regardless of the
lighting condition, but a photograph records the true color. To
compensate for this, the DXG-409 camera can shift the RGB color
balance of the ambient light so that the color in the photograph
appears as it should. This process is referred to as "matching the
white balance".
