Automatic white balance
White balance adjustment recognises the colour
of light and adjusts so the white colour will
become a purer white. The unit determines the
hue of light, thereby judging the recording
condition, and selects the closest hue setting.
The illustration above shows the range over
which the auto white balance functions.
