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.
