Different Lighting

Posted by Mars on 12/11/2007, 10:40 am

Hello,

Since I'm still new with digital photography maybe you can help me with this issue.

I've been studying my white balance in my Canon PowerShot A550 camera from the user guide.

The white balance that confuses me the most are the Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Fluorescent H. What are the differences in these lightings? Also what is Tungsten? Sometimes if I just walk into a room I'm not even sure what kind of lighting I'm dealing with. This may sound silly, but I do have trouble distinguishing the difference sometimes. Will the camera automatically adjust if I have it set to Tungsten even if the lighting isn't Tungsten lighting? I'm so afreaid I'll mess up a great shot by using the wrong white balance setting!
