To Change The Tint For Recording . . .

.... in step 2, substitute coloured paper for white.

The white balance is adjusted based on the colour, changing the tint. Red paper = deeper green; blue paper = orange; yellow paper = deeper purple.

NOTES:

●In step 2, it may be difficult to focus on the white

paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually (  pg. 43).

●A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, flourescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.

●Once you adjust white balance manually, the setting is retained even if the power is turned off or the battery removed.
