[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 77343, member: 9521"] White balance is simply the camera determining what in a scene should be considered "white" and then to base the rest of the colors against that determination. Typically the auto white balance will be fairly close but you can adjust it both in and out of the camera. The 18% gray card is another way of telling the camera what to set the white balance but that's a little more of a specialized application. When you change the scene dial on your camera from cloudy to sunny you're really just changing the white balance, which is sometimes considered "temperature". [/QUOTE]
