Adjusting White Balance Manually

White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color
of light and adjust so that the white color will
become pure white. The Camcorder determines
the hue of light that comes through the Lens and
White Balance Sensor, thereby judging the
recording condition, and selects the closest hue
setting. This function is called Automatic White
Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White
Balance Adjustment range, use the Manual White
Balance Adjustment Mode.
