Title
Recording with Natural Colours
(White Balance)
This Movie Camera automatically adjusts the white balance to ensure that the pictures are recorded with natural colours. For certain types of subjects and lighting conditions, however, this Auto White Balance Adjustment Mode may not be able to ensure natural colours (p. 95). In these cases, you can select either one of the 3 preset modes explained below (indoor, outdoor, or the last manually adjusted white balance setting), or you can manually adjust the white balance.
The modes change in the following order:
Automatic White Balance Adjustment [AWB]
Last manually adjusted White Balance setting [1]
!Outdoor Mode [z]
"Indoor Mode [{]
(recording under incandescent lamp)

Notes about the Recording with Natural Colours
³Be sure to remove the Lens Cap before setting the [OFF/ON] Switch to [ON]. If the Lens Cap is still attached to the Lens when the [CAMERA] Lamp lights, the automatic white balance setting may not be precise.
Notes about the Adjusting the White Balance Manually
³It is not possible to manually adjust the white balance when you have zoomed to 20t or higher (digital zoom range), when [EFFECT1] on the [DIGITAL EFFECT]
³We recommend that you adjust the white balance anew whenever there is a change in the recording situation.

Advanced Operations
Adjusting the White Balance Manually
Use the Manual White Balance Adjustment Mode for all types of lighting outside the range (p. 95), as the Auto White Balance Adjustment Mode can only ensure natural colours for the types of lighting within that range. For optimum results under almost any types of lighting, we recommend that you adjust the white balance manually for each new scene.
Attach the Lens Cap and zoom in until the entire screen becomes white.
