prefer to control this function manually and achieve a
more professional colour/tint reproduction.

NOTES:
●
To switch to automatic white balance
adjustment, set the M.W.B. in the Menu
Screen to “AUTO”, or turn the Select Dial to
“AUTO LOCK”.
●
Re-adjust the White Balance when the
lighting has changed, when the camcorder
has been turned off and on again, or when
the Select Dial’s position has been changed.
●
When adjusted by putting coloured paper in
front of the subject in step 1 of “MWB”, this
unit makes its colour temperature 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 approximates to green, orange
or purple respectively.
●
It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a
colour monitor when adjusting the white
balance (
