Understanding White Balance:

White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that objects which appear white are rendered white in your photo. Proper white balance has to take into account the “colour temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.

• When setting the white balance manually, the subject must be white, otherwise, your camcorder may not detect an appropriate setting value.

The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.

During normal outdoor recording, setting to “Auto” may provide better results.

Cancel the digital zoom function for clear and precise setting.

64• Reset the white balance if light conditions change.
