Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour
of light and adjust so that the white colour will
become pure white. The Movie Camera
determines the hue of light that comes through
the Lens and White Balance Sensor, thereby
judging the recording condition, and selects the
closest hue setting. This function is called
Automatic White Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White
Balance Adjustment range, use the Manual White
Balance Adjustment Mode.
