Digital cameras need to determine the color temperature of a photograph to correctly display colors. This is done using the {{w|Color_balance|white balance}} setting. The joke here is that Cueball selects the "direct sunlight" option, as he feels it is the option that best suits his unusual situation of directly photographing the sun, even though the "direct sunlight" setting is intended to be used for photographing objects directly illuminated by the sun and not for the sun itself. | Digital cameras need to determine the color temperature of a photograph to correctly display colors.

β | The light from an object illuminated by "direct sunlight" is, in fact, ''indirect'' sunlight | + | The light that reaches the camera sensor from an object illuminated by "direct sunlight" is, in fact, ''indirect'' sunlight, so when photographing the sun itself, the camera receives sunlight that is even more direct than "direct". |
The use of a solar filter influences the color temperature, so "custom" would probably be the correct option here. A camera using the "custom" option usually requires you to focus on a white or gray object first to determine the correct setting. Most high-end cameras, like the {{w|Bridge camera|superzoom}} camera that is likely depicted here, are able to capture in {{w|raw image format}}, allowing the user to adjust the white balance afterwards in software. | The use of a solar filter influences the color temperature, so "custom" would probably be the correct option here.
