White Balance: Variable lighting doesn’t only result in changes in
brightness but also results in spectral variation (changes in color tone).
Since the human eye is capable of adapting to these types of
variations, we rarely notice even relatively major color variations in
light in the course of a day. The camera can also adapt to color
variations with the help of the Automatic White Balance.
If only the brightness values change (e.g. if an artificial light source is
obscured), then the White Balance can be set manually. By clicking
on the switch One Push White Balance you will establish a base
setting. If necessary you can make slight adjustments afterwards to
achieve the optimal setting.
