Adjusting the white balance
White balance adjustment makes white subjects look white and allows more natural
color balance for camera recording. 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 POWER switch is set to CAMERA or MEMORY/NETWORK (DCR-
TRV950 only). (p. 67)
(2) Press WHT BAL.
(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
