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.

The intuitive design ensures that both beginners and experienced users can adapt quickly, making it a practical choice for family use or more serious recording.

The internal editing features, such as digital effects and transitions, allow users to enhance their videos creatively without requiring additional software. Users can add personal touches, ensuring their films are unique and tailored to their style.

In terms of connectivity, the GR-AXM670 includes outputs for video and audio, making it easy to connect to televisions or other recording devices for playback and editing.
