Setting the White Balance
The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects still appear white even
when the light changes. With a digital camera, however, the color of the subject is influ-
enced by the color of the light surrounding it. This color adjustment is called "white bal-
ance adjustment". This setting allows you to set the white balance when capturing
images under specific lighting conditions.
