Generation

# White Balance & Color Temperature **White Balance** is a camera setting that adjusts colors to make white objects appear truly white under different lighting conditions. **Color Temperature** is measured in Kelvin (K) and describes the color of light sources—lower values (2000-4000K) appear warm/orange (like candlelight), while higher values (5000-10000K) appear cool/blue (like shade on a sunny day). **Why it matters:** Incorrect white balance causes unnatural color casts (overly orange or blue images) that make subjects look wrong. Our brains automatically adjust for different lighting, but cameras need manual or automatic white balance settings to accurately reproduce colors as we perceive them.
