Understanding White Balance

White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that objects which appear white are rendered white in your image. Proper white balance has to take into account the “colour temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.

To set the white balance manually

1Press the Home ( ) button p touch “Manual” p touch the

White Balance ( ) tab p touch the Custom WB ( ) tab.

The “() Set White Balance” indicator appears.

2Fill the screen with a white object, and then touch the ( ) tab.

The white balance setting is stored.

The stored white balance setting will be applied the next time you record.

• When setting the white balance manually, the subject must be white, otherwise, your camcorder may not detect an appropriate setting value.

The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.

During normal outdoor recording, setting to “Auto” may provide better results.

Cancel the digital zoom function for clear and precise setting. ¬page 65

Reset the white balance if light conditions change.
