Adjusting White Balance - Panasonic AG-AC130A Manual

Adjusting white balance

Adjusting the white balance changes the sensitivity of
the camera to different amounts of red, green and blue
light to compensate for the color of ambient light. In most
cases, the camera does a good job of white balance in
AUTO mode, but if you need to manually adjust the white
balance:
1. Set the <AUTO/MANU> switch to manual mode.
2. Set the <WHITE BAL> switch to <A>.
3. Shoot something white and zoom in so that it fills the screen.
4. Press the <AWB> button. Adjustment is completed in a few seconds, and will display the
message on screen: [AWB Ach OK].
Manually adjusting sound levels
The same concepts for AUTO vs. MANUAL settings apply to sound:
AUTO will get you acceptable results in most cases, but MANUAL is
better once you are comfortable with the camera and want the most
professional results. To change the recording level to manual:
1. Set the AUDIO AUTO/MANU CH1 or CH2 switch to <MANU> position.
2. Adjust the audio signal recording level using the <AUDIO LEVEL>
knob. Before recording, check the audio level meter display on the
bottom left of the screen. The highest level should peak at around -12
dB.
Always use headphones to monitor the audio.
