White balance
The white balance function adjusts the photo or video clip color balance according to the
lighting conditions.
Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions of different color temperatures. A
digital camera needs to find a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate
all the other colors based on this white point. For example, if a halogen light illuminates a
white wall, the wall will appear yellow, when in fact it should be white. If the camera knows
the wall is supposed to be white, it will compensate for all other colors in the scene
accordingly.
Most digital cameras feature automatic white balance. This means the camera looks at the
overall color of the image and calculates the best white balance. However, these systems
may not work properly if the scene is dominated by one color or if there is no natural white.
There are five settings for different lighting conditions:
Auto* – adjusts the color balance automatically to the lighting conditions
Incandescent – adjusts the color balance for bright lighting conditions, such as overhead light bulbs, or
when lighting conditions change quickly
Fluorescent – adjusts the color balance for fluorescent lighting
When this function is on, a photo appears in the same orientation (landscape or portrait)
as when it was originally taken.
