example, when adjusting with red, blue or yellow colours, the image becomes the colour which
aproximates to green, orange or purple respectively.
White Balance Adjustment
This camcorder's Automatic Colour Temperature system
senses the colour temperature of the ambient lighting for
automatic white balance adjustment. However, precise
colour adjustment is not possible under the following
conditions:
•When an object is in various shades of the same colour.
•When a predominantly red or brown object is being
shot outdoors.
In these cases, use the camcorder's built-in preset filters
for white balance adjustment.

unaffected by surroundings, even when there are
multiple subjects with different colour temperatures.
