Manual White Balance Adjustment (M.W.B.)

This camcorder’s Automatic Colour Temperature system senses the colour temperature of the ambient lighting for automatic white balance adjustment. However, precise colour adjustment is not possible under the following conditions:

•When an object is in various shades of the same colour. •When a predominantly red or brown object is being

shot outdoors.

In these cases, use the camcorder’s built-in preset filters for white balance adjustment.
