Keeping Colors True: White Balance

What Is “White Balance”?

The color of the light reflected by an object depends on the color of the light

source. The human brain is able to detect and compensate for such changes

in color, with the result that a white object will look white to humans whether

viewed in sunlight, under overcast skies, or indoors under incandescent or

fluorescent lighting. To a camera, however, the “whites” produced by these

different sources of light vary in color, some being slightly blue and others

yellow or red. A digital camera can adjust colors according to lighting so that

colors that appear white to the human eye also appear white when viewed in

the final photograph. This adjustment is called “white balance.”

Choosing a White Balance Setting

In P, S, A, and M modes, white balance can be

adjusted using the white-balance option in the

SHOOTING menu (in and scene modes, white

balance is adjusted automatically).
