Wh ite Balance
- Keeping Colors True
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of
the light source. The human brain isable 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. Unlike the film used in film cameras, digital
cameras can mimicthis adjustment by processing images
according to the color of the light source. This is known as "white
balance" This chapter covers white balance settings.
