White balance adjustments
When you shoot with the AUTO/MANUAL selector
switch at the AUTO position, the white balance is
adjusted automatically while scenes are being
recorded.
As the white balance sensor is used to detect the light
source during shooting so the camera-recorder can
adjust the white balance, do not cover the sensor with
your hand or anything else.
If you press the USER button to which the AWB LOCK
function has been allocated (
P68) when you are shoot-
ing in the auto white balance mode, the white balance
at the time the button was pressed is used until the but
-
ton is pressed again.
Each time the button is pressed, the camera-recorder
switches between auto white balance and W.LOCK.
Select the white balance setting mode if the white bal-
ance needs to be adjusted very precisely.
• Before shooting in areas with a 50 Hz power line fre-
quency or adjusting the white balance, set the shutter
speed to 1/60.
1 Set the AUTO/MANUAL selector switch to MAN-
UAL.
• No adjustments can be performed with this switch
at AUTO.
2 Press the WHITE BAL button to select the desired
white balance setting mode.
