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

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

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 coloured paper in front of the subject in step 1 of “MWB”, 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 approximates to green, orange or purple respectively.

●It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a

colour monitor when adjusting the white balance (☞ pg. 36).

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

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.

GR-AX11EG specifications

The JVC GR-AX11EG is a versatile camcorder that stands out for its compact design and user-friendly features, making it an excellent choice for both amateur and semi-professional videographers. This model, released during the 1990s, showcases JVC's commitment to innovative technologies that enhance the filming experience.

One of the key features of the JVC GR-AX11EG is its 20x optical zoom lens, which allows users to capture distant subjects in fine detail while maintaining image clarity. This capability is essential for events like sports or wildlife filming, where getting closer to the action is not always possible.

The GR-AX11EG employs advanced image stabilization technology, which is crucial for reducing the impact of shaky hands during filming. By smoothing out the recorded footage, this feature ensures that viewers enjoy a more polished and professional-looking end product. This stabilization technology is especially beneficial for handheld shooting, where stability can often be an issue.

In terms of recording quality, the camcorder supports the Super VHS-C format, offering enhanced resolution and color depth compared to standard VHS. This format is particularly valued for its ability to produce clearer images, making it suitable for producing home videos and documenting important life events.

Moreover, the JVC GR-AX11EG features a user-friendly interface with a built-in LCD screen that rotates for easy viewing from various angles. This flexibility allows users to frame their shots accurately, enhancing the overall filming experience. The camera also includes a variety of manual controls, giving users the ability to adjust settings like exposure and focus to achieve their desired look.

Another noteworthy characteristic is its compact size, making it easy to carry for extended periods. This portability ensures that videographers can shoot comfortably on the go, capturing spontaneous moments without the burden of bulky equipment.

In summary, the JVC GR-AX11EG is a well-rounded camcorder equipped with features like 20x optical zoom, image stabilization, Super VHS-C recording, and a rotating LCD screen.
