White balance

Digital camera system that sets the colour temperature for the scene or subject being photographed. This can be set automatically, with the system attempting to set the colour so that it looks normal to the human eye. Most DSLRS also offer a wide selection of manual WB settings – where the WB can be set from a reference source (such as a piece of white card), or to a particular Kelvin value, or to a lighting type (such as sunny daylight or tungsten bulb lighting).
