MWB

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

•When an object is in various shades of the same color. •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.

SELECT MODE

1 Press MWB (Manual White Balance) until the required indication appears in the viewfinder.

” .............. Outdoors on cloudy day

” ............... Outdoors on sunny day

” ................ Light source is halogen or tungsten lamp

“MWB”

With a memorized personal White

 

Balance setting (see below)

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

ADJUST FOCUS

1 Point the camcorder at a white, flat object such as a sheet of white paper, and adjust focus manually (pg. 21).

ADJUST WHITE BALANCE

2 Press MWB until ”MWB“ appears, then press and hold MWB for more than 3 seconds.

•”MWB” blinks in the viewfinder during adjustment, then stops blinking but stays lit when adjustment is complete.

NOTES:

To switch to automatic white balance adjustment, press MWB until the indication disappears, or turn the PROGRAM AE dial to LOCK.

Re-adjust the White Balance mode when the lighting has changed, when the camcorder has been turned on and off again, or when the PROGRAM AE dial’s position has been changed.

It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a color monitor when adjusting the white balance (“BASIC CONNECTIONS” pg. 29).

When adjusted by putting colored paper in front of the subject in step 2 , 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 aproximates to green, orange or purple respectively.
