White balance

The white balance function adjusts the photo or video clip colour balance according to the lighting conditions. Normally our eyes compensate for lighting conditions of different colour temperatures. A digital camera needs to find a reference point which represents white. It will then calculate all the other colours 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 colours in the scene accordingly. Most digital cameras feature automatic white balance. This means the camera looks at the overall colour of the image and calculates the best white balance. However, these systems may not work properly if the scene is dominated by one colour or if there is no natural white. There are five settings for different lighting conditions:
