Fluorescent light, incandescent light, and mercury lamps

Shot under florescent light

The color correction feature of the auto-white balance is good enough so that in most cases you will not notice the effect of fluorescent lights, incandescent lights, or mercury lamps.

With a conventional camera, color correction is achieved by selecting the proper film to match the light source. The elimination of this requirement is one of the biggest advantages of the digital camera.

When such light sources have sufficient brightness, it is easy to take good photographs under natural lighting, without using the flash.
