• A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject's tint will differ, affecting the subject's white balance. Use this function to correct the white balance and provide a more natural result.
•When you set white balance manually, the object you frame must be white. Otherwise your camcorder may not detect an appropriate setting value.
•The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.
•During normal outdoor recording, setting to Auto may provide better results.
•Cancel the digital zoom function for clear and precise setting.
• Reset the white balance if light conditions change. | 55 |
