About White Balance Sensor
The White Balance Sensor
1
determines the nature of the light source
during recording.
Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording.
Otherwise, White Balance will not work normally.
The red light from the Tally Lamp
2
will be reflected off your hand or
object, possibly causing the White Balance Sensor to operate incorrectly
and changing the colouring.
Outside of the effective range of Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the
image will become reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range of
Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the Automatic White Balance
Adjustment may not function properly if there is more than one light source. In
this case, adjust the White Balance.
