The pictures below simulate the effects of common lighting types that can be corrected with the white balance pre-sets in most digital cameras.
The auto white balance should be able to produce a natural colour balance under a wide range of lighting conditions.
The Daylight setting adds a touch of yellow to counteract the blue of the sky.
The Cloudy setting adds yellow and red.
The Shade setting is even warmer.
The Flash setting adds slightly more yellow than the Daylight setting to counteract the blue bias in electronic flash light.
The Incandescent light setting is strongly blue to counteract the red/orange cast of household tungsten lighting.
The cool white fluorescent light setting has a slight orange bias.
The daylight fluorescent setting has a very slight orange cast.
The warm white fluorescent setting is very slightly purplish.
