Recording in Natural Colours
(White Balance)
Depending on the scene or light condition, the Automatic
White Balance Adjustment Mode may not be able to bring
out natural colours. In such a case, the white balance can be
adjusted manually.
When the Movie Camera is turned on with the Lens Cap on,
the Automatic White Balance Adjustment may not function
properly. Please turn on the Movie Camera after removing
the Lens Cap.

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.
