6. SET THE CORRECT WHITE BALANCE

Color balance correction is the process of rendering accurate colors in your ﬁ nal

image. Most people don't even notice that light has different color characteristics

because the human eye automatically adjusts to different color temperatures, so

quickly, in fact, that everything looks correct in a matter of milliseconds.

When color ﬁ lm ruled the world, photographers would select which ﬁ lm to use

depending on what their light source was going to be. The most common ﬁ lm was

balanced for daylight, but you could also buy ﬁ lm that was color balanced for tung-

sten light sources. Most other lighting situations had to be handled by using color

ﬁ lters over the lens. This process was necessary for the photographer's ﬁ nal image to

show the correct color balance of a scene.

Your camera has the ability to perform this same process automatically, but you can

also choose to override it and set it manually. Guess which method we are going to

use? You are catching on fast! Once again, your photography should be all about

maintaining control over everything that inﬂ uences your ﬁ nal image.

Luckily, you don't need to have a deep understanding of color temperatures to con-

trol your camera's white balance. The choices are given to you in terms that are easy

to relate to and that will make things pretty simple. Your white balance choices are:

• Auto: The default setting for your camera. It is also the setting used by all of the

automatic scene modes (see Chapter 3).

• Daylight: Most often used for general daylight/sun-lit shooting.

• Shade: Used when working in shaded areas that are still using sunlight as the

dominant light source.

• Cloudy: The choice for overcast or very cloudy days. This and the Shade setting

will eliminate the blue color cast from your images.

• Tungsten: Used for any occasion where you are using regular household-type

bulbs for your light source. Tungsten is a very warm light source and will result in

a yellow/orange cast if you don't correct for it.

• Fluorescent: Used to get rid of the green-blue cast that can result from using

regular ﬂ uorescent lights as your dominant light source. Some ﬂ uorescent lights

are actually balanced for daylight, which would allow you to use the Daylight

white balance setting.

• Flash: Used whenever you're using the built-in ﬂ ash or using a ﬂ ash on the hot

shoe. You should select this white balance to adjust for the slightly cooler light

that comes from using a ﬂ ash. (The hot shoe is the small bracket located on the
