Setting white balance

Here is an example of altering the white balance in an image. It is important because if we do not check it is activated when we are about to take a photograph or start recording footage, it may pick up unwanted colour in the frame and make the image as a whole filtered in un-realistic tones. We must remember to check it is set each time we change in setting when filming. As you can see, in the example to the left, without the white balance being set the image appears a dirty less clear colour overall, however when the white balance is set, the whole image is how you would normally view the image in a realistic aspect.
