NOTES

Selecting “Manual” changes white balance to the settings achieved the last time a manual white balance operation was performed.

You can use the key customization feature (pages

72, 73) to configure the camera so the white balance setting changes whenever you press [￿] and [￿], or [￿] and [￿] while in the REC mode.

Adjusting White Balance Manually

Under some light sources, automatic white balance under the “Auto” setting can take a long time to complete. Also, the auto white balance range (color temperature range) is limited. Manual white balance helps to ensure that colors are recorded correctly for a particular light source.

Note that you must perform manual white balance under the same conditions you will be shooting under. You must also have a white piece of paper or other similar object on hand in order to perform manual white balance.

3.Use [￿] and [￿] to select “Manual”.

This causes the object you last used to adjust manual white balance to appear on the monitor screen.
