Different light sources emit different color temperatures measured in Kelvin. For example, daylight is cooler and bluer, while tungsten light is warmer and more orange. Cameras must compensate for these variations to maintain accurate color reproduction. White balance can be set automatically, manually, or by sampling a neutral reference point. Incorrect white balance causes color casts that can make footage appear unnatural. While minor adjustments can be corrected in post-production, extreme errors may degrade image quality. Consistent white balance is especially important for multi-camera shoots and professional workflows.
