White Balance
Different kinds of lighting conditions cast different colors. For example, sunlight is more blue, while indoor tungsten light is more yellow. Scenes dominated by a single color may require an adjustment of the white balance setting to help the camera reproduce colors more accurately and ensure that whites appear white in the final image. You can also adjust the white balance to produce creative effects. For example, using the Sun setting can produce a warmer look to the image.
