Adjusting White Balance Manually

White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color
of light and adjusts so that white will become pure
white. The Camcorder determines the hue of light
that comes through the Lens and the 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.
