Custom White Balance

You can store two custom white balance settings in the camcorder for recording under more difficult lighting conditions.

Using the Joystick

1 Set the WHITE BAL. switch to A or B.

2 Press SET and push the joystick left/right until the white balance icon is highlighted in orange.

3 Push the joystick up/down to select [ÅA] or [ÅB], depending on the position of the WHITE BAL. switch.

• To apply the stored custom white balance setting as it is, press SET. The rest of the procedure is not necessary.

• If a custom white balance has not yet been stored, the white balance icon (ÅA or ÅB) and default value (5,500 K) will flash slowly. To establish the custom white balance, continue the procedure.

4 Point the camcorder at a white object so that it fills the whole screen.

• Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when recording.

5 Press the Åbutton.

The white balance icon (ÅA or ÅB) will flash quickly.

Make sure the white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.

After the white balance icon stops flashing, the procedure is completed. The setting is retained even if you turn off the camcorder.

Remote Operation Using Browser Remote

After completing the necessary preparations (A182), you can set the custom white balance remotely from a connected device using the Browser Remote application.

1 Press the white balance mode button on the Browser Remote screen.

2 Select [ÅA] or [ÅB].

3 Point the camcorder at a white object so that it fills the whole screen.

Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when recording.

Make sure the white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.
