rWhite Balance - Keeping Colors True The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Unlike the film used in film cameras, digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as "white balance." This chapter covers white balance settings. r White Balance Options pg. 140 Fine-Tuning White Balance pg. 143 Choosing a Color Temperature pg. 147 Preset Manual pg. 148 139
