Manual White Balance Adjustment (M.W.B.)

This camcorder’s Automatic Colour Temperature system senses the colour temperature of the ambient lighting for automatic white balance adjustment. However, precise colour adjust- ment is not possible under the following conditions:

•When an object is in various shades of the same colour.

•When a predominantly red or brown object is being shot outdoors.

In these cases, use the camcorder’s built-in preset filters for white balance adjustment.

SELECT MODE

1 Turn the PROGRAM AE select dial to any position except AUTO LOCK.

SELECT FUNCTION

2 Press SELECT reapeatedly until “M.W.B.” appears.

“MWB” ..... With a memorized personal White Balance

MWB sets the colour temperature for the subject’s light source so you can shoot with natural colours that are unaffected by surroundings, even when there are multiple subjects with different colour temperatures.

•“MWB” blinks in the viewfinder during adjustment, then stops blinking but stays lit when adjustment is complete.

●To switch to automatic white balance adjustment, press SET until the indication disappears, or turn the PROGRAM AE select dial to “AUTO LOCK”.

●Re-adjust the White Balance when the lighting has changed, when the camcorder has been turned on and off again, or when the PROGRAM AE select dial’s position has been changed.

●It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a colour monitor when adjusting the white balance (“Basic Connections” ☞ pg. 31).

●When adjusted by putting coloured paper in front of the subject in step 2 (“ADJUST FOCUS”), this unit makes its colour temperature standard for automatic white balance. So you can enjoy shooting with different colours. For example, when adjusting with red, blue or yellow colours, the image becomes the colour which aproximates to green, orange or purple respectively.

●Manual White Balance Adjustment is not possible when the PROGRAM AE dial is set to SEPIA (☞ pg. 17).
