[Set 1] or [Set 2] : Use the custom white balance settings to make
white subjects appear white under colored lighting.
Remember to reset your white balance when you change locations. Also, if your out in
the field and you white balanced in the morning, you will need to change the white
balance throughout the day as the sun and lighting conditions change. When selecting
custom white balance, your results will always be better than Automatic. You can buy
white cards that you can put in your pocket and pull out throughout the day.

You can adjust the audio recording level of the built-in or an external microphone. You can
display the audio level indicator while recording.
1. Touch [FUNC.] > [Mic. Level] > [M Manual]
• the audio level indicator and current audio recording level will appear on the screen. If you are
using an external microphone as well you can see that audio level indicator by going to [FUNC.] >
[MENU] > Video camcorder symbol > [Audio Mix] > set it to [on].
• Touch the [A Automatic] to return the camcorder to automatic audio recording levels.
Audio is VERY IMPORTANT when it comes to recording. Without being able to monitor
the audio, you will not know what is being recorded until you playback the footage and
by that time the moment is gone!
To adjust the audio you touch and hold [<] or [>] as necessary
As a guideline, adjust the audio recording level so that the audio level meter will go to
the right of the -12 dB mark only occasionally. Headphones are a great way to listen to
the sound that is being recorded, as well as monitor the levels on the LCD Screen. To
use headphones, you go to [FUNC.] > [MENU] > Wrench symbol > [AV/Headphones] >
touch headphones and then the return icon. Then you can connect your headphones
into the AV Out terminal.
