White Balance Adjusts the color temperature of your image in one click. Use the
eyedropper icon and then click a known white area in your RED
footage to achieve the correct light or neutral balance. This option is
equivalent to adjusting the Kelvin and Tint options. When you use
the White Balance option, the system automatically adjusts Kelvin
and Tint. It is recommended you adjust White Balance first before
performing any other adjustments to the image for best quality. This
change adjusts the entire clip and updates the histogram.
Kelvin Adjusts the RGB color to compensate for red - blue tinting of the
scene at different color temperatures of the ambient light while you
shoot. Common values are 3200 (tungsten) and 5600 (daylight).
Click and drag the slider from 1700 to 9400. Default is 5600.
