White Balance Adjustment
The 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.
