best results.

Adjusting the Color
(White Balance)
Light is required when recording
subjects. While the naked eye
perceives colors as they are, images
recorded by a camera may appear
redder or bluer than they actually are.
To record white colored subjects as
white images, adjust the white
balance.
The camcorder normally adjusts the
color automatically (during Auto).
Change the white balance setting
according to the recording conditions.
