Understanding White Balance:
White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which
appear white are rendered white in your photo. Proper white balance has to take into account
the “color temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of
white light.
• A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fl uorescent,
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.
• When setting the white balance manually, the subject must be white, otherwise, your camcorder
may not detect an appropriate setting value.
• The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.
• During normal outdoor recording, setting to “Auto” may provide better results.
• Cancel the digital zoom function for clear and precise setting.
• Reset the white balance if light conditions change.
