Digital
Camera: How The Camera Adjusts
Your digital camera achieves
white balance by paying attention to all the white
and neutral colors in the scene. I then makes them appear neutral
causing colors to be rendered accurately no matter what the light
source is, whether indoor or natural outdoor lighting.
This can be controlled automatically or manually.
Sometimes you may be
surprised when you see the actual photograph as the camera may have
compensated too much. Even though the colors are accurate the warm
glow that makes the scene special may simply be accurate colors
without that warm feeling to the photo.
While it's best to make
adjustments in white balance as you are shooting
the photos, it is possible to adjust the color on the computer.
This is most easily done if your digital camera allows
RAW images.
