To record high-quality video with the unit, the black and white balances must be adjusted according to conditions.
For higher quality, it is recommended that the adjustments should be made in this order AWB (white balance adjustment)

Whenever light conditions change, the white balance must
be re-adjusted.
To adjust the white balance, follow the steps below.
