Note: As the cameras have fixed iris lenses, control over exposur e is determined by the electronic shutter (that is, how long each frame is “exposed” for).
8 AWC --> SET : Allows you to create a custom white balance. Y ou’ll need a sheet of thick white card/paper . Hold the paper in front of the camera so that it covers just over half the viewing area.
9 From the EXPOSURE menu, you can contr ol how the camera reacts to lighting conditions. SHUTTER: This setting controls the behaviour of the electr onic shutter .

19 Manual White Balance Menu COLOR TEMP: Color temperature (technically measur ed in degrees kelvin) is a measurement of the average wavelength of light being photographed.
