Working with White Balance settings (WB)

*Canon EOS 60D

White Balance - setting the correct white balance in your DSLR camera is important to ensure that the objects are displayed white within the photograph.

  • Auto white balance - you can use this setting as a default depending on the available light. Auto white balance works by evaluating the scene and deciding the most appropriate white balance for your photograph.
  • Daylight - you can use this setting for direct sunlight. 
  • Shade - it will help to give a warmer color to your photographs. Use shade white balance in shady areas.
  • Cloudy - a good setting for cloudy days creating a very even diffuse light.
  • Tungsten - one of the most extreme balance settings compare to the other white balances. You can use this balance if you want a blue touch to your images.
  • Fluorescent - will help make indoor fluorescent house lighting. It looks like a bit better yellowy orange color you usually see.
  • Flash - used mostly for studio work. You may use your camera's built-in flash.
  • Custom white - allows the camera which area is supposed to be white. It can calculate the color shift required to make that surface white.
  • Kelvin - this enables you to set the color temperature in degrees Kelvin.
