White Balance Adjustment
A term that refers to the correctness of colour reproduction
under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all
other colours will be accurately reproduced.
The white balance is usually adjusted automatically.
However, the more advanced camcorder operator would
prefer to control this function manually and achieve a
more professional colour/tint reproduction.
