White Balance Adjustment
A term that 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, the more advanced camcorder operator
would prefer to control this function manually and achieve a more professional color/tint reproduction.
