5.3 Auto White Balance (AWB)
[White balance adjustment]
To create images in correct color balance, it is necessary to perform white balance adjustment in accordance with the condition of
the place where the subject is located. This condition is color temperature. It is determined by the light source for illuminating the
subject.
The human eye adapts to a changing environment--the color balance for it will not be disturbed seriously even if color temperature
varies according to the environmental conditions and stored data. The camera, on the other hand, has no such adaptability--a
change in color temperature results in a change in color balance.
