Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color
of light and adjust so that the white color will
become pure white. The Palmcorder determines
the hue of light that comes through the Lens and
White Balance Sensor, thereby judging the
recording condition, and selects the closest hue
setting. This function is called Automatic White
Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White
Balance Adjustment range, use the Manual White
Balance Adjustment Mode.

ª About White Balance Sensor
The White Balance Sensor (33) determines the
nature of the light source during recording.
≥Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with
your hand during recording because White
Balance will not function normally.
≥The red light from the Recording Lamp (20) will
be reflected off your hand or object, possibly
causing the White Balance sensor to operate
incorrectly and changing the coloring.
Outside of the effective range of Automatic White
Balance Adjustment, the image will become
reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range
of Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the
Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not
function properly if there is more than one light
source. In this case, adjust the White Balance.
