1. A method for maintaining consistency in white balance between a first digital image and a second digital image captured by a digital imaging device, comprising: capturing the first and second digital images from a scene illuminated by at least two different illuminants; identifying which of the at least two different illuminants to base a white balance setting; comparing the first and second digital images to compute a similarity score; and maintaining a white balance setting based on the identified illuminant in the second digital image that is substantially the same as that of the first digital image, when the similarity score satisfies predetermined criteria, even if another illuminant is dominant in the second digital image.
