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.

Note:

The white balance set using the “Set” option will be stored in memory until it is re-set.

Do not use a coloured object when setting the white balance: The appropriate tint cannot be set.

The setting on white balance “Set” may not be possible in a dark place. Also, the white balance cannot be set when the zoom bar is in the digital zoom range (p. 53). In such status, the “;” indicator will remain blinking. Set the white balance in a bright place with “Dig. Zoom: Off” specified.

If the recording conditions have changed, re-set the white balance for appropriate colours.

The setting will be stored in memory even when the DVD video camera/recorder is turned off: The “;” indicator will blink when the DVD video camera/ recorder is turned on next time. Re-set the white balance as needed.
