White Balance Adjustment

Manual White Balance Adjustment

The white balance refers to the correctness of colour reproduction under various lighting. If the white balance is correct, all other colours will be accurately reproduced.

The white balance is usually adjusted automatically. However, more advanced camcorder operators control this function manually to achieve a more professional colour/ tint reproduction.

Set “W.BALANCE” in FUNCTION Menu ( pg. 24)

The selected mode indicator except “AUTO” appears.

[AUTO]: White balance is adjusted automatically.

MWB: Adjust the white balance manually when shooting under various types of lighting. ( “Manual White Balance Adjustment”)

FINE: Outdoors on a sunny day.

CLOUD: Outdoors on a cloudy day. [ ] = Factory-preset

To return to automatic white balance Set “W.BALANCE” to “AUTO”. ( pg. 24)

NOTES:

In step 3, it may be difficult to focus on the white paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually. ( pg. 28)

A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.

Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.
