White Balance
The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to
calibrate the picture and ensure accurate colors under different
lighting conditions. There are 4 methods of setting the white
balance.
Auto white balance (AWB): The camcorder automatically adjusts
the white balance to the optimal level. This method can be
assigned to any of the three positions of the WHITE BAL.
switch.
Preset white balance: Set the white balance to ¼ (daylight) or
É (incandescent lamp). Preset white balance settings can be
further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to 9. This method can
only be used when the WHITE BAL. switch is set to PRESET.
Set color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature
between 2,000 K and 15,000 K. This method can only be used
when the WHITE BAL. switch is set to PRESET.
Custom white balance: You can use a white object to establish the white balance and set it to one of two custom
white balance positions, ÅA or ÅB. These correspond, respectively, to positions A and B of the WHITE BAL.

When recording under fluorescent lights, we recommend using auto white balance or setting the custom white
balance.
NOTES
• The [Color Matrix] and [White Balance] settings in the custom picture file (A 139) take precedence over the
white balance settings.
• You can use the [w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [Shockless WB] setting (A 141) to make the
transition look smoother when you change the white balance settings.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can adjust the white
balance with the remote controller’s AWB button, A button, B button, PRESET button and Å button.
