White Balance White balance is a camera setting that adjusts the color temperature of an image to accurately represent the true colors of a scene under different lighting conditions. Light sources emit light with varying color temperatures, measured in Kelvin (K), which affects the overall color cast of an image.
White balance allows photographers to correct for these color temperature differences by ensuring that white objects appear neutral white, without any color tint, in the final image. Common white balance settings include daylight, shade, cloudy, tungsten, fluorescent, and custom presets. By selecting the appropriate white balance setting or manually adjusting the color temperature, photographers can achieve accurate color reproduction and maintain color consistency across different lighting environments. |
