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.

To change the setting
Set “u” to the desired mode. (

● The selected mode indicator except “AUTO”

appears.

[AUTO]: White balance is adjusted
automatically.

MWB: Adjust the white balance manually

when shooting under various types of lighting.

● A subject can be shot under various types of

lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent,
candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature
is different depending on the light source, the
subject tint will differ depending on the white
balance settings. 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.
