Manual White Balance Adjustment (M.W.B.)
This camcorder’s Automatic Colour Temperature system
senses the colour temperature of the ambient lighting for
automatic white balance adjustment. However, precise
colour adjustment is not possible under the following
conditions:
• When an object is in various shades of the same colour.
• When a predominantly red or brown object is being shot
outdoors.
In these cases, use the camcorder’s built-in preset filters for
white balance adjustment.

select dial to “AUTO LOCK”.
● Re-adjust the White Balance when the lighting has changed, when the camcorder has been turned off and on again, or
when the PROGRAM AE select dial’s position has been changed.
● It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a colour monitor when adjusting the white balance (“Basic Connections”
੬
pg. 28).
● When adjusted by putting coloured paper in front of the subject in step 2 (“ADJUST FOCUS”), this unit makes its colour
temperature standard for automatic white balance. So you can enjoy shooting with different colours. For example, when
adjusting with red, blue or yellow colours, the image becomes the colour which aproximates to green, orange or purple
respectively.
