WHITE BALANCE
In digital photography, white balance ensures neutral color
rendering in any light. White balance is based on the camera being
preset to render a particular light color as white.
Four methods are provided: automatic control, fixed presets, manu-
al setting via measurements or a direct setting of the color
temperature.
AUTOMATIC/FIXED SETTINGS
– Auto: for automatic control, which delivers neutral results in
most situations,
– Six fixed presets for most frequently encountered light sources:
– Daylight: for outdoor pictures in sunlight
– Cloudy: for outdoor pictures in cloudy conditions
– Shadow: for outdoor pictures with the main subject in
shadow
– Tungsten: for indoor pictures with (predominantly)
incandescent lamp light
– Fluorescent Warm: for indoor shoots using (predominantly)
warm light from fluorescent tubes, for example in living
quarters with warm light similar to incandescent light at
approx. 3700 K

– Fluorescent Cool: for indoor shoots using (predominantly)
