Features For Recording
The white balance refers to the correctness of
colour reproduction under various lighting. If
the white balance is correct, all other colours
will be accurately reproduced.
The white balance is usually adjusted
automatically. However, more advanced
camcorder operators control this function
manually to achieve a more professional
colour/tint reproduction.
Set the Power Switch to “REC” (墌 15).
Set the recording mode to “M” (墌 22).
Set “W. BALANCE” to the desired mode
(墌 32).
● The selected mode indicator except “AUTO”
appears.

shooting under various types of lighting.
(墌 40, “Manual White Balance Adjustment”).

Notes:

white paper. In such a case, adjust focus

depending on the light source, use this function
for a more natural result.
● Once you adjust white balance manually, the
setting is retained even if the power is turned off
or the battery removed.

simultaneously with “TWILIGHT” in “PROGRAM
