Understanding White Balance:

 

 

 

 

The White Balance (WB) function removes unrealistic colour

 

 

 

casts, so that objects which appear white are rendered white in

 

 

 

your photo. Proper white balance has to take into account the

 

 

 

“colour temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative

 

 

 

warmth or coolness of white light produced by the light source.
