Polaroid Digital Camera Tips, Tricks, Terms, and Techniques

What is “white-balance compensation”?

If you are shooting indoors without a flash, or in other unusual lighting conditions,
your digital photos may be tinted with strange colors (such as orange, green, or blue).
Many Polaroid digital cameras use white-balance compensation to fix this problem. If
your camera includes this feature:

•

Use the camera’s automatic white-balance setting for most lighting conditions.

•

If flash is prohibited or not being used indoors, you may want to try the camera’s
fluorescent, or tungsten setting, depending on the source of the prevailing
lighting.
