Generation

White balance adjusts your camera to accurately reproduce colors under different lighting conditions by compensating for the color temperature of the light source, measured in Kelvin. Warmer light (like candlelight at ~2000K) appears orange/yellow, while cooler light (like overcast sky at ~7000K) appears blue. Proper white balance ensures that white objects appear truly white in your images, rather than tinted by the ambient lighting.
