• Setting the White Balance
  The human eye adapts to changes in light so that white objects still appear white even when the light changes. With a digital camera, however, the color of the subject is influenced by the color of the light surrounding it. This color adjustment is called "white balance adjustment". This setting allows you to set the white balance when capturing images under specific lighting conditions.
