Range of Features
Setting the white balance manually will probably work better
than auto white balance when shooting:
Subjects with one dominant color, such as sky, sea or forest
Close-ups
In rapidly changing lighting conditions
In places lit by certain types of fluorescent or mercury vapor
lights
Notes:
Turn the digital zoom off (if necessary) to set a more accurate white balance.
If you have set the white balance and lighting conditions change, reset the white
balance.
Try to record with light from a single source. Correct white balance cannot be
obtained for two types of lighting at once.
You cannot set the white balance or choose the indoor/outdoor mode when the
program selector is set to the [ (Easy Recording) program.
The white balance returns to the AUTO setting when you slide the program
selector to [ (Easy Recording).
When you turn the camcorder on, the white balance returns to AUTO. If you
then switch the white balance to SET, the camcorder will remember your last
setting.
During normal outdoor shooting, setting to AUTO may provide better results.
