Manual White Balance Adjustment (M.W.B.)
This camcorder’s Automatic Colour Temperature system
senses the colour temperature of the ambient lighting for
automatic white balance adjustment. However, precise
colour adjustment is not possible under the following
conditions:
•When an object is in various shades of the same colour.
•When a predominantly red or brown object is being
shot outdoors.
In these cases, use the camcorder’s built-in preset filters
for white balance adjustment.

●
To switch to automatic white balance
adjustment, press SET until the indication
disappears, or turn the PROGRAM AE select
dial to “AUTO LOCK”.
●
Re-adjust the White Balance when the lighting
has changed, when the camcorder has been

It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a
colour monitor when adjusting the white
balance (“Basic Connections”

●
When adjusted by putting coloured paper in
front of the subject in step 2 (“ADJUST
FOCUS”), this unit makes its colour tempera-
ture standard for automatic white balance. So
you can enjoy shooting with different colours.
For example, when adjusting with red, blue or
yellow colours, the image becomes the colour
which aproximates to green, orange or purple
respectively.
