Why does the camcorder sometimes not record the right color?

•To record both indoors and outdoors, and not having to change any settings, the camcorder has an automatic white- balance correction. This enables you to record both indoors and outdoors where the amount of light in the environment changes. If you move fast from outdoors to indoors, the camcorder might need some time to correct that, and in extreme cases the colors might seem a bit unnatural. However, after

a few seconds this will be corrected automatically by the camcorder.
