Selecting the white balance according to the surrounding lighting ( )
When daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on
white paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for

be adjusted to suit the situational lighting so that white objects appear
white in the picture. This adjustment function is called “white balance”.
