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.
