When adjusted by putting coloured paper in front of the subject in step 2 (“ADJUST FOCUS”), this unit makes its colour temperature standard for automatic white balance. So you can enjoy shooting with different colours. For example, when adjusting with red, blue or yellow colours, the image becomes the colour which aproximates to green, orange or purple respectively.

Manual White Balance Adjustment is not

possible when the PROGRAM AE dial is set to SEPIA (pg. 21).

shot outdoors.

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