In the HOLD mode, the camcorder automatically adjusts the white balance
according to the color temperature of the subject's light source and keeps that
setting during recording. When recording some subjects with different color
temperatures (when lighting condition changes often), use the HOLD mode.
Then you can achieve a recording with natural colors without being affected
by the surroundings.
1 Set AUTO LOCK to the lower position and press WHT BAL to set to the
auto mode (no indication).
2 Point at and record a white, flat object such as a white wall, or paper.
If you cannot find a white object, you may want to attach the lens cap and
direct the camcorder to light sources.
3 Press WHT BAL.
The HOLD mark appears in the viewfinder.
When you change the battery pack or setting of the white balance, or the
light source is changed, you need to set to the HOLD mode again. In this
case, follow the procedures above again.
