pack, point the lens toward a white object for approx. 10 seconds, then start
recording.
Adjusting white balance manually (One push white balance mode)
You can set the white balance for a particular lighting condition manually. When the
white balance is set manually, the colors of the object being shot will continue to look
natural as long as the lighting conditions remain the same.
When a particular color is shot under different lighting sources, the color often seems to
change color. When shooting subjects under changing lighting conditions, set the white
balance to the AUTO mode; the subject colors will remain consistent even under
changing lighting conditions.
