White Balance

To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of

lighting. With a digital camera, the white for color correction basis is decided

depending on the color temperature of the illumination, and then the color

is adjusted with software to make the white areas look white. With this

function, you can take the pictures with natural color tones.
