White Balance Adjustment
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.
