MWB

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

•When an object is in various shades of the same color. •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 Press MWB (Manual White Balance) until the required indication appears in the viewfinder.

“” .............. Outdoors on cloudy day

“ ” ............... Outdoors on sunny day

“” ................ Light source is halogen or tungsten lamp

“MWB”	With a memorized personal White

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

●It is helpful to connect your camcorder to a color monitor when adjusting the white balance (“BASIC CONNECTIONS” ☞ pg. 29).

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