When You Want More Control
Exposure
When you want to record a subject that is much brighter or
darker than its surroundings, the automatic exposure obtained
by the camcorder may not be best for that specific subject.
To correct this, you can compensate the exposure to make the
whole picture brighter or darker, you can use Touch AE to tell the
camcorder to optimize the exposure for a selected subject, or
you can use a combination of both.
• When you select the custom white balance:
- Reset the white balance when you change locations
or the lighting or other conditions change.
- Depending on the light source, Å may keep flash-
ing. The result will still be better than with
[Ã Automatic].
• Custom white balance may provide better results in the
following cases.
- Changing lighting conditions.
- Close-ups.
- Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest).
- Under mercury lamps, certain types of fluorescent
lights and LED lights.
