Adjusting White Balance Manually
Under some light sources, automatic white balance under the “Auto” setting can take a long time to complete. Also, the auto white balance range (color temperature range) is lim- ited. Manual white balance helps to ensure that colors are recorded correctly for a particular light source.
Note that manual white balance requires you to point the camera at a piece of white paper or other similar object so it completely fills the monitor screen.
