ABSTRACT

White balance is one of the most critical things that photographer need to be aware of when taking theatrical shots, and is a major difference between stage photography and most other types of photography. Therein lays the trade-off with white balance: photographer’s ability to adjust the color-temperature sensitivity of their camera is directly related to how much they are willing or able to spend on the camera equipment. Photographer may have discovered an auto white-balance feature in their camera's menus while they've been adjusting the color temperature. The auto white-balance feature is very useful for snapshots in odd lighting conditions for the novice user. he auto white-balance setting basically tells the camera to look at the scene, find something white, and adjust the camera so that the thing it thinks is white is color shifted to match a reference white stored in the camera's software.
