Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour
of light and makes adjustment so that the white
colour will become pure white. The Movie
Camera determines the hue of light that it
receives through the Lens and White Balance
Sensor, thereby judging the recording condition,
and selects the closest hue setting. This function
is called Automatic White Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White
Balance Adjustment range, use the Manual White
Balance Adjustment Mode.
