Shooting techniques

The subject coloring is affected by the lighting conditions. For example, the entire image appears blue under sunlight in the summer, and white items gain a reddish tint under incandescent light bulbs, etc. The human eye can resolve these problems, but digital still cameras cannot recognize the correct colors without adjustments. Normally, the camera makes these adjustments automatically, but if recorded image colors appear unnatural, we recommend that you adjust the white balance.
