Back in the days of film, you chose a stock to match the lighting and that was it – you were stuck with it. Daylight film for just about everything, but tungsten for studio tungsten lighting. However, with digital cameras we have no such restriction. The camera can automatically compensate for the color of the lighting with a white balance adjustment.
If you want to take back manual control of your camera, don’t just stop at manual exposure and manual focus; you also need to take control of the camera’s color rendering.
