White Balance
Unlike film cameras, digital cameras have the ability to adjust the color based on the lighting situation where they are used. This is know as "White Balance" The cameras use white as a reference and adjust the color balance to give as true as possible a white, correcting all the other colors by doing this. Additionally some cameras may offer manual or preset white balance settings like daylight, tungsten fluorescent, or cloudy. In some cases these may be given as color temperatures, like 5500 degrees K. The more advanced digital camera may also allow the user the option of manually setting a white balance from a white card for the most accurate white balance control. For more specific information on the use of White Balance see the cameras owners guide as it may vary by camera model and manufacturer.
