Use the auto setting for normal outdoor scenes.

When the program selector is set to EASY, white balance is preset to [AUTO].

The camcorder retains the custom white balance setting even if you turn it off. However, it resets to [AUTO] when you change the position of the TAPE/CARD switch.

When you have set the custom white balance:

-Depending on the light source, “” may keep flashing. The result will still be better than with the auto setting.

-Reset the white balance when the lighting condition changes.

-Turn off the digital zoom.

Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases:

-Changing lighting conditions

-Close-ups

-Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)

-Under mercury lamps or certain types of fluorescent lights
