White Balance:
This is the process of removing unrealistic color casts so that objects which
appear
white
in person are rendered
white
in your photo. It is measured in Kelvins. If
you have
Auto
selected, then the camera will decide what the best setting is. You can
also choose from a selection of profiles or set it yourself.
