Assignment 11.2

1. Describe the steps for adjusting the white balance on a camcorder or digital film camera.

Step 1. Locate the manual or custom white balance option on the camera.

Step 2. Aim at a white card or sheet of paper with the camera. The card or sheet should reflect the same light source hitting it.

Step 3. Zoom in on card or sheet so that it fills 80-100% of the frame with white. Make sure focus and exposure settings are properly set.

Step 4. Hold the set button until the camera confirms white balance has been acquired.

2. Describe the steps for adjusting the manual white balance on a DSLR (this is NOT in the book, and many more people are shooting video, especially corporate and lower budget work, with a DSLR.  You will need to research this! If you want a camera for reference, use the common Canon T6 DSLR)

Hit the white balance button found on the right. It is set to auto you can change it from Daylight to Tungsten light and so forth via clicking the arrow keys. Keep hitting the right arrow until you come to custom. Save it on your menu to get the correct exposure.
