Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of light
and adjusts so that white will appear pure white. The
Camcorder determines the hue of light that comes
through the Lens and White Balance Sensor, thereby
judging the recording condition, and selects the closest
hue setting. This function is called Automatic White
Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White Balance
Adjustment range, use the Manual White Balance
Adjustment Mode.
