terminology - If, brightness → dynamic range... white balance → what?


Different things have different brightness levels. And with a normal camera, when we set more exposure to show details in the shadows, the already existing-details blow out. And vice versa — when we expose for the highlights, we lose shadow detail. But the human eye doesn't have this mess; it has the ability to catch almost all the details — the human eye has a broad dynamic range.


The human eye can also adjust to any color temperature. So, it has a broad ______. What is the blank?


Like in the case of brightness, does a term exist for color temperature?


I mean, human eyes have an invaluable ability to see the details with widely varying brightness levels, and when a camera approaches that ability, we say that camera has a wide dynamic range. So, like that, is there a term for cameras' ability to adapt to widely varying color temperature levels as the human eye does?

A wide angle lens has a wide angle of view, therefore it would make sense that the front of the lens would also be wide. A telephoto lens ha...
