A subject can be shot under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, 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.

It is recommended that you specify “Digital Zoom: Off” (page 67) before setting white balance.

Do not use a coloured object when setting white balance: The appropriate tint cannot be set.

This function will be set to “Auto” in the EASY Q mode.

Reset the white balance if lighting conditions change.

During normal outdoor recording, setting to auto may provide better results.

Exposure

The DVD camcorder usually adjusts the exposure automatically. You can also manually adjust the exposure depending on the recording conditions.
