WHITE BALANCE
Human vision compensates for variations in the color of normal ambient lighting so that we see white and gray objects as neutral. Film cameras cannot compensate for such changes in lighting (called the color temperature) except by the choice of film, or in some cases by using filters. Digital cameras attempt to mimic humans by measuring the color temperature and compensating automatically. This is known as White Balance. The White Balance may be preset to one of a number of fixed values and can also be measured manually.
