WHITE BALANCE

White balance settings define how the camera processes video images to render true colors in a scene. White balance is especially effective in scenes with changing lighting conditions or in scenes with more than one type of light source. For example, scenes that benefit from white balance correction are outdoor scenes, indoor scenes that include a window or door that opens to the outdoors, or indoor scenes that include both incandescent and fluorescent lighting.

Auto White Balance

When set to Auto, the camera continually delivers the best possible image by automatically adjusting the white balance based on the colors in the scene. Auto is the default setting for white balance.
