use the [AUTO] or [HOLD] mode.
Your camcorder may not adjust the white
balance correctly in the [INDOOR] mode.

your camcorder at a white subject for about
10 seconds after turning the power on to get
a better adjustment:
– after you replace the battery pack.

from inside a house while holding the
exposure, or vice versa.
