It will adjust the white balance for each picture you take, so you may not have consistent color. That is not a bad thing for most photography since the white balance will vary by only a few degrees Kelvin between each shot. Most people simply leave their cameras set to auto white balance.]]> 2017-11-02 19:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/19ddorny47065/camerapadlet/wish/203102309 19ddorny47065 https://padlet.com/19ddorny47065/camerapadlet/wish/203103135 The old standard in- candescent light bulb gets hot and uses too much energy. Most people don’t realize that the light output of an incandescent bulb is rather orange, or warm. If you are shooting under incandescent light, your images may be objectionably warm, with orange skin tones and whites that are not white. Test your camera’s auto white balance ability under incandescent light by shooting a picture of someone reading a book under an old-style light bulb. Look at the picture on your computer and see if the pages of the book look reddish or orange. If not, your camera does a good job with incandescent light. If the pages look orange, you can manually set the camera to the incandescent white balance setting and take another shot. You should see a big improvement.]]> 2017-11-02 19:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/19ddorny47065/camerapadlet/wish/203103135 19ddorny47065 https://padlet.com/19ddorny47065/camerapadlet/wish/203103983 As mentioned earlier, fluorescent light has a deficit of blue, so your subjects will come out looking greenish. If you take pictures of people under fluorescent light and they look a sickly green or yellow, set your camera to the fluorescent white balance setting and shoot again. The camera will add blue and the image will look more normal. Some cameras offer several fluorescent white balance settings because there are several types of fluorescent light.
