Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color
of light and adjusts so that white will appear pure
white. The Camcorder determines the hue of light
that comes 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.
