Note:

•The white balance set using the “Set” option will be

stored in memory until it is re-set. Re-setting will change the “h” indicator from blinking to a steady light.

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

•If “Input Source: LINE” has been specified, you cannot use the “Set” mode of white balance (P. 98).

•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. 56). In such status, the “h” 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 colors.
