About White Balance
The color of the light reflected from an object varies
with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to such
changes in color, with the result that we see white objects as white, regard-
less of whether they are in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent
lighting. Digital camera can mimic this adjustment by processing information
from the camera's image sensor (CCD) according to the color of the light
source. This process is known as a "white balance adjustment."
