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 or fluorescent lighting. Digital cameras
can mimic this adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to
the color of the light source. This is known as "white balance."
Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you
can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve
more accurate results.
