At high ASA ratings like 1600 ASA, the images behave the opposite
way. Noise is increased, which makes it important to judge the dark
parts of the image, while the clipping behaviour will be even smoother.

White Balance adjusts the color balance of the camera according to the
lighting in use.
Typical presets are 3200K for Tungsten, 4300K for Fluorescent and 5600
for Daylight. The white balance can be adjusted in steps of 100K from
2000 to 11000K.
In addition to the white balance, which influences only the red-blue
balance of the image, the CC (color compensating) shift can also adjust
the green-magenta balance.
Any light source that does not have a continuous spectrum, like
fluorescent tubes, will have peaks in its spectrum that can not be
corrected with the traditional white balance.
The CC shift can correct these peaks up to the same amount of a full
green or a full magenta gel.
