Adjusting White Balance Manually

White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour of light and
makes adjustment so that the white colour will become pure
white. The Movie Camera determines the hue of light that it
receives 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.
