Camera Mode
Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of light and makes adjustment so that the white color will become pure white. The Camera Recorder determines the hue of light that it receives through the Lens and White Balance Sensor, thereby judging the recording condition, and selects the closest hue setting. This function is called Automatic White Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White Balance Adjustment range, use the Manual White Balance Adjustment Mode.

ODo not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording. Otherwise, White Balance will not function normally.
OThe red light from the Recording Lamp 2 will be reflected off your hand or object, possibly causing the White Balance sensor to operate incorrectly and changing the coloring.
Outside of the effective range of Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the image will become reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range of Automatic White Balance Adjustment, the Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not function properly if there is more than one light source. In this case, adjust the White Balance.
