White Balance
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 conditions, such as recording an object with various shades of the same
color or when recording a predominant red or brown object outdoors, you may want to
adjust white balance manually.
