Manual White Balance
Perform Manual White Balance when shooting under
various types of lighting.
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the white balance
adjustment, and highlight MWB.
2. Hold a sheet of plain white paper in front of the
subject. Adjust zoom or position yourself so that
the white paper fills the screen.
Note: It may be difficult to focus on the
white paper. In such a case, adjust focus
manually (see page 86).
3. Press in the MENU dial until MWB begins
blinking.
4. When finished, press in the MENU dial to exit.
• To change the tint for recording in step 2,
substitute colored paper for white. The white
balance is adjusted based on the color, changing
the tint.
Red paper = deeper green
Blue paper = orange
Yellow paper = deeper purple.
Notes:
• A subject can be shot under various types
of lighting conditions indoors (natural,
fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because
the color temperature is different
depending on the light source, the
subject tint will differ depending on the
white balance settings. Use this function
for a more natural result.
• Once you adjust white balance manually,
the setting is retained even if the power
is turned off or the battery removed.
