•If a tele or wide-conversion lens is used, the auto white balance may not operate depending on the recording conditions. If this happens, set to the mode to match the recording conditions, or manually set the white balance.

•Be sure to remove the lens cap before turning the DVD video camera/recorder on: If the DVD video camera/recorder is turned on with the lens capped, the white balance will not work normally.
