Shoot in Raw - Though it’s a personal shooting option, but if you shoot in raw this gives you more flexibility when it comes to doing any adjustments in the image like fixing white balance, exposure or brightness. Though shooting in jpeg also works but it does not provide you more control when you need to edit images.
