Setting the White Balance
The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture for accurate colour
display in different lighting conditions (i.e. sunlight versus indoor incandescent.)
Automated white balance settings include a fully automated mode, an indoor mode and an outdoor
mode. In addition, you can set the white balance manually and save up to three white balance presets
that can be reused for non-sequential shooting.
