a subject regardless of whether it is near or far from
the camcorder. Auto focus lenses generally provide
vastly superior image quality than do their fixed
focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their
depth of field. Also known as: “AF”, “auto-focus”.
The adjustment of electronic still picture color
channel gains or image processing so that radiation
with relative spectral power distribution equal to that
of the scene illumination source is rendered as a
visual neutral.
With auto white balance, the camcorder attempts to
determine the color temperature of the light and
automatically adjust for that color temperature.
Many people just leave the camcorder set to auto
white balance all the time.

A compressed file format for digital camcorder in
which the images are compressed using the
