14.6 White Balance
White Balance (WB) is the color balance of the camera that should be matched to the color temperature
of the light in use. White balance is a red-blue adjustment of the image. To adjust the green-magenta
balance, use the color compensation (CC) adjustment. For example, a fluorescent source will have
peaks in its spectrum that cannot be corrected with red-blue white balance alone. The CC shift can
correct these peaks up to a full green or full magenta gel. One step of CC shift is equal to 035 Kodak
CC values or 1/8 Rosco values.
There are three methods for setting the white balance:
White balance presets
Custom white balance
Automatic white balance
