White Balance Adjustment
White balance refers to the correctness of color
reproduction under various lighting. If the white
balance is correct, all other colors will be accurately
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.
