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.
