A camera and method are usable for capturing images of scenes illuminated
by ambient light. The camera has a body and an electronic imager disposed
in the body. The electronic imager captures an ambient light image as a
multicolored electronic image. A color detector is disposed in the body.
The color detector measures the ambient light to provide a color value. A
user interface disposed on the outside of said body, shows the electronic
image and an indication of the color value. The indication is independent
of the color balance of the electronic image.
