Notes on white balance

•When you shoot with studio lighting or video lighting, use the e(indoor) mode.

•When you shoot with fluorescent lighting, use automatic white balance mode. If you use the emode, white balance may not be adjusted appropriately.

Shooting when the lighting condition changes

•When the lighting condition has changed, readjust the white balance with the ￿button while the camcorder is in Standby mode. This button does not function during recording.

•When you adjust the exposure (iris) and shutter speed manually, and move from indoors to outdoors or vice-versa, set HOLD/AUTO LOCK selector to AUTO LOCK, then set HOLD/AUTO LOCK selector to the center position again.

•When you move from indoors to outdoors or vice-versa, or detach the battery for replacement while shooting in automatic white balance mode, point the camcorder at a white subject about 10 seconds before you start recording.
