What is White Balance?

White Balance is used to compensate for the light situation in whatever setting you are in.

 

Why is it important to set your White Balance?

It is important to set your white balance so that your picture looks correct based on the lighting situation. For example, all of the pictures above are set at different white balance settings. The photo took place in a white fluorescent lit room, so either that or the automatic setting made the photograph come out looking good.
