NOTES:

●To switch to automatic white balance adjustment, set the M.W.B. in the Menu Screen to “AUTO”, or turn the Select Dial to “AUTO LOCK”.

●Re-adjust the White Balance when the lighting has changed, when the camcorder has been turned off and on again, or when the Select Dial’s position has been changed.

●When adjusted by putting colored paper in front of the subject in step 1 of “MWB”, this unit makes its color temperature standard for automatic white balance. So you can enjoy shooting with different colors. For example, when adjusting with red, blue or yellow colors, the image becomes the color which approximates to green, orange or purple respectively.

●It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a

color monitor when adjusting the white balance (☞ pg. 44).

MWB sets the color temperature for the subject’s light source so you can shoot with natural colors that are unaffected by surroundings, even when there are multiple subjects with different color temperatures.

PREPARE WHITE OBJECT

1 Point the camcorder at a white, flat object such as a sheet of white paper.

SELECT MWB

2 Follow step 1 through 3 of the above, select “MWB”.

MEMORIZE WHITE BALANCE

3 Press the MENU Jog Dial until “MWB” begins blinking. “MWB” blinks while the white balance is being stored in memory, then the Menu Screen reappears when memorization is complete.

CLOSE MENU

4 Press the MENU Jog Dial.
