About White Balance
The human eye has the ability to compensate so that it sees white subjects as
white, whatever the light source. Digital cameras and similar devices can also
"see" white subjects as white by first adjusting the colour balance of the ambient
light to match the photo subject. This adjustment is called the White Balance.
