WR White Balance
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of tile 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, Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is
known as "white balance." For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting
that matches the light source before shooting. 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,
