About White Balance Sensor
The White Balance Sensor
(3)
determines the nature of the
light source during recording.
≥
Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand
during recording. Otherwise, White Balance will not
function normally.
≥
The red light from the Recording Lamp
(49)
will be reflected
off your hand or object, possibly causing the White Balance
sensor to operate incorrectly and changing the colouring.
Outside of the effective range of Automatic White Balance
Adjustment, the image will become reddish or bluish. Even
within the effective range of Automatic White Balance
Adjustment, the Automatic White Balance Adjustment may
not function properly if there is more than one light source. In
this case, adjust the White Balance.
