Notes:

Do
not
touch

when
the
AUTO COLOUR TRACKING system is operating.
Especially at twilight or in dimly lit situations,
AUTO

may
be
influenced
and alter the white balance to an undesirable
degree by strongly reflecting coloured objects
or by strong direct light passing near the colour

sensor
and
affecting
it.
In
such
Cases,
reset
the

switch
to

COLOUR TEMPERATURE
@
When
only
the
subject
is
brightly
illuminated
and
where
you
are
situated

the
camera
for
shooting
the
scene
is
somewhat
darker,
or
when
shooting
under
special
lighting
such
as
mercury

sodium
tamps
or
Stage-lighting,
white
balance
must
be
adjusted
more
accurately
since
there
exists
a
mixture
of
colour
temperatures.
In
such
Cases,
reset

an
object
emits
light
because
its
temperature
rises,
there
is
a
relationship
between
the
temperature
of
the
object
and
the
colour
of
the
light
it
is
emitting.
As
the
temperature
of
the
object
rises,
the
colour
of
the
light
varies
from red to orange, yellow, white and blue, The colour of
the
light
can
be
expressed
as
the
absolute
temperature
of
the
object
in
degrees
absolute
or
degrees
Kelvin
(abbreviated
as

this
is
called
the
“colour

! White batance adjustment is necessary so that white objects
| are accurately reproduced as their original white colour. If
! the colour white is reproduced accurately, all other colours
i will be reproduced accurately as well. White balance adjust-
i ment should be done every time the colour temperature of
i the light falling on the subject changes. With the human
‘THE IMPORTANCE OF WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
eye, this adjustment is a natural spontaneous reflex, but
with a video camera, white objects are reproduced reddish
or blueish if correct white balance adjustment is not
performed.
With this model, this adjustment is performed automatically
by setting the WHITE BALANCE switch.
