Setting The White Balance - Canon XL2 Instruction Manual

Setting the White Balance

The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture for accurate color
display in different lighting conditions (i.e. sunlight versus indoor incandescent.)
Automated white balance settings include a fully automated mode, an indoor mode and an outdoor
mode. In addition, you can set the white balance manually and save up to three white balance presets
that can be reused for non-sequential shooting.
