Adjustments and Settings for Recording : Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance

For higher quality, it is recommended that the adjustments should be made in this order AWB (white balance adjustment)

Whenever light conditions change, the white balance must
be re-adjusted.
To adjust the white balance, follow the steps below.
