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 image. You can also adjust the white
balance to produce creative effects. Using the
Sun
setting can
produce a warmer look to the image.
