Advanced Recording Operations
If you have selected in step 3
When you set the white balance to one-push white balance mode, the setting is locked
and maintained even if lighting conditions change. You can achieve recording with
natural colours without the image being affected by ambient light.
(With the indicator on the screen)
(1) Shoot a white object such as paper fully.
(2) Press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial.
The indicator flashes quickly. When the white balance has been adjusted and stored
in the memory, the indicator stops flashing. The setting will be maintained even if the
battery is detached.
To return to automatic adjustment
Set the AUTO LOCK selector to AUTO LOCK or press WHT BAL. The white balance
indicator disappears from the LCD or viewfinder screen.
Notes on white balance
•When you shoot with studio lighting or video lighting, use the n (indoor) mode.
•When you shoot with fluorescent lighting, readjust the white balance using the
(one-push white balance) mode , or use the automatic white balance mode. If you use
the n (indoor) mode, white balance may not be adjusted appropriately.
Shooting when lighting conditions have changed
•When lighting conditions have changed, readjust the white balance while the
camcorder is in standby mode.
•In automatic white balance mode, point your camcorder at a white subject for about
10 seconds after setting the POWER switch to CAMERA to get a better adjustment
when:
– You detach the battery for replacement.
– You bring your camcorder outdoors from the interior of a house, or vice versa.
If the indicator does not stop flashing after you press the SEL/PUSH EXEC dial
The white balance cannot be set. Use the automatic white balance mode.
