White Balance
The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects still appear white even
when the light changes. With cameras, however, the color of the subject is influenced by
the color of the light surrounding it. This color adjustment is called “white balance
adjustment”. This setting allows you to set the white balance when capturing images under
specific lighting condition.
