White Balance Adjustment
The white balance 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, more advanced
camcorder operators control this function
manually to achieve a more professional
colour/tint reproduction.
