What's up with the white balance in this photo? Everything is tinted yellow; the pages of the book are supposed to be pure white. The chair is supposed to be light yellow.
My camera doesn't have a way of manually adjusting the white balance, so instead I took a picture of a piece of white printer paper and let it use that as a reference. There are two sources of light: a lamp (which is almost visible behind the chair), and a set of construction lights (about 6 feet behind the camera)

So you can't manually set your white balance on a Nikon d3400?

That's correct, the only option is to take a photo of a white object and let the camera figure it out.

They look white to me, OP. Maybe you just see the world in yellow.

Did you preset your white balance with the printer paper under the same yellow lighting?
>>
>>3122554
Yes, nothing was changed between setting the white balance and taking the photo.

I'm not buying it.
Also, don't be a dingus. Shoot raw, set white balance afterwards. No one does it in-camera except for like, photojournalists who have to send in photos over their mobile data plan.

Holy shit, you're totally right. I didn't even know that screen existed before. I've been letting the camera do it automatically this whole time.
