White Balance - HP PhotoSmart 945 User Manual

White Balance

Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For
example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is
more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require
an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera
reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites
appear white in the final picture. You can also adjust the white
balance to produce creative effects. Using the
settings can produce a warmer look to the picture, and the
Shade setting can make a sunset picture look more orange.
