How to use the white cap
If there is only one light source, attach the white
cap to the lens for the manual white balance
adjustment. If there are several light sources,
remove the white cap from the lens and point the
Camcorder at a purely white object such as white
paper and then adjust the white balance.
Automatic recall of previous white balance setting
When the POWER switch of the Camcorder is set to
“OFF” and later to “ON” again, the “SET”
indication will flash slowly in the hold mode,
however, the last previous white balance setting is
still maintained. It is also maintained during
Playback, Rec review and Camera search.
However, the previous white balance setting will no
longer be maintained when the AC adaptor is
turned off or the battery pack is removed from the
Camcorder.
