About White Balance Sensor
The White Balance Sensor @ determines the nature of the light source
during recording.
e Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording.
Otherwise, White Balance will not function normally.
e The red light from the Tally Lamp @ will be reflected off your hand or
object, possibly causing the White Balance sensor to operate incorrectly
and changing the colouring.
Use of Auto White Balance Adjustment in inappropriate lighting conditions may
result in reddish or bluish images. Where the subject is found on the left but
surrounded by many light-sources, Auto White Balance Adjustment may not
operate property. in such case we suggest that you adjust the White Balance.
