4-1 Adjusting the Black
Balance and the White
Balance
To always obtain excellent image quality when using this camcorder,
conditions may require that both the black balance and the white balance
be adjusted.
The black balance will require adjustment in the following cases.
• When the camcorder is first used
• When the camcorder is used under conditions in which the surrounding
temperature has changed greatly
• When the camcorder has not been used for a long time
• When the GAIN selector values have been changed by using the USER
menu
It is not usually necessary to adjust the black balance when using the
camcorder after it has been off.
White balance adjustment
Always readjust the white balance when the lighting conditions change.
Viewfinder screen displays
If the black balance or white balance adjustment is started, messages that
report on the progress and results are displayed on the viewfinder screen
when VF DISP MODE is set to 2 or 3 on the VF DISP 1 page of the
USER menu.
Note
Black balance and white balance adjustment values that are
automatically set by the camcorder and the various settings are stored in
the camcorder memory and retained even when the power is turned off.
