Adjusting the white balance
White balance adjustment makes white subjects look white and allows more natural
colour balance for camera recording. Normally, white balance is automatically adjusted.
You can obtain better results by adjusting the white balance manually when lighting
conditions change quickly or when recording outdoors: e.g., neon signs, fireworks.
(1) Set the AUTO LOCK selector to the center (auto lock release) position while
the camcorder is in standby, recording, or memory mode.
(2) Press WHT BAL. The white balance indicator appears on the LCD screen or in
the viewfinder.
(3) Turn the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial to select the appropriate white balance mode
under the following conditions. As you turn the dial, the display changes as
follows:
(One-push white balance) y (Outdoor) y n (Indoor).
