Shooting techniques

The image is affected by the lighting
conditions. For example, the entire image
appears blue under sunlight in the summer,
and white items gain a reddish tint under
incandescent light bulbs, etc. The human eye
can resolve these problems, but digital still
cameras cannot recognize the correct colors
without adjustments. Normally, the camera
makes these adjustments automatically, but
if recorded image colors appear unnatural,
we recommend that you adjust the white
balance.
