Making colors look natural is what white balance is all about. This
is
achieved by
adjusting the way the camcorder “sees” and records the light source in the scene you
wish to record. Your camcorder is equipped with automatic white balance. However,
under certain cond
i
tions, such as recording an object with various shades of the same
r
color or when recording a predominant red or brown object outdoors, you may want to
adjust white balance manually.
