The white balance (WB) technology in digital cameras was developed to make every colour picture you shoot look as if it has been taken in neutral white light without a colour cast.

If you set the WB to Auto that’s exactly what the camera will do. However, this means that you will lose the golden cast of sunset light and the blue glow of dawn, and that’s certainly not desirable.

Today, we consider white balance adjustment in the camera as not particularly important, because it is so easy to adjust the colours in the camera or on the computer. We generally leave the WB set on Daylight and fine tune on the computer later. However, if you wish to match your WB to the light as you go along, here are your options.
