Notes on the ∑ indicator in the viewfinder

•The indicator means:

Slow flashing: white balance is not adjusted

Fast flashing: white balance is being adjusted (after you pressed WHITE BALANCE ∑)

Lit steady: white balance has been adjusted.

•If the ∑ indicator keeps flashing even when you press WHITE BALANCE ∑, shoot in automatic white balance mode. Set AUTO LOCK to ON and slide AUTO/ MANUAL under the WHT BAL dial to AUTO.

Notes on white balance

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

•When you shoot under fluorescent lighting, use automatic white balance mode.

Shooting when the lighting condition changes

•After the lighting condition changes, readjust the white balance using the WHITE BALANCE ∑ button while the digital camcorder is in Standby mode. The WHITE BALANCE ∑ button does not function during recording.

•If you are adjusting the aperture (iris) and shutter speed manually, then when you move from indoors to outdoors or vice-versa, set AUTO LOCK to ON and then set it to OFF again.

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