• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Can white balance be corrected after shooting?

I have been using a Sony HDV 1080 which is several times more expensive than my trusty Panasonic NV GS-500.

I have been away filming with it and all the footage has this horrid blue hue on it which means that unlike any other camcorder I have used, the white balance did not adjust itself.

The guy who hired me told me just to point and shoot, but I don't think he will be happy with the results - I certainly am not.

is there anything that can be done to rectify the problem?
