Adjusting the Color (White Balance)

Light is required when recording subjects. While the naked eye perceives colors as they are, images recorded by a camera may appear redder or bluer than they actually are. To record white colored subjects as white images, adjust the white balance.

The camcorder normally adjusts the color automatically (during Auto). Change the white balance setting according to the recording conditions.
