ªAbout White Balance Sensor

The White Balance Sensor 3 determines the nature of the light source during recording.

≥Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording. Otherwise, White Balance will not work normally.

Use of Auto White Balance Adjustment in inappropriate lighting conditions may result in reddish or bluish images. Where the subject is surrounded by many light-sources, Auto White Balance Adjustment may not operate properly. In such a case, we suggest that you adjust the White Balance.
