White Balance Adjustment

A term that refers to the correctness of color reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all other colors will be accu- rately reproduced.

The white balance is usually adjusted automatically. However, more advanced camcorder operators control this function manually to achieve a more professional color/tint reproduction.

NOTES:

In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually

( pg. 53).

A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the color temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.

Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.
