White Balance

When the brightness of a scene changes, our eyes adapt the difference so the white object remains white. For digital cameras, they can also see the white object as white by averaging the light around the subject.

The camera determines the white balance by averaging the various kinds of light that actually enters into the lens. You may set in advance the white balance when taking photographs under specific lighting conditions.
