Note on the one push white balance mode setting

 

The white balance setting for one push white balance mode is retained even when you

 

turn the power off or change white balance mode, as long as the power source is

 

installed in the camcorder. The setting is retained for about 1 hour even when you

 

disconnect the power source if the lithium battery is installed in the camcorder.

 

If the one push white balance indicator does not stop flashing when you

 

press the control dial

 

The lighting is probably insufficient or you have forgotten to put the white lens cap on.

 

If this appears to be the case, increase the lighting or attach the white cap and try again.

 

If the indicator still continues to flash after trying this, press WHT BAL to set the

 

camcorder to the automatic white balance mode (no indicator) or set AUTO LOCK/

 

HOLD to AUTO LOCK.
