Settings for white balance correction are available to remove unrealistic color casts so objects which appear white
in person are rendered white in the image. Proper camera white balance has to take into account the color
temperature of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light. The Auto white
balance correction is applied in the software and the indoor and outdoor presets are applied directly by the
scanner. Here is a general guide for when to use each setting.
Auto - recommended when lighting conditions are inconsistent
Sunny - outdoors in bright sunlight
Cloudy - outdoors on overcast days
Fluorescent Cool White - indoors when bright fluorescent lighting is present
Incandescent - indoors when more natural incandescent lighting is present
