Recording with Manual White Balance
Adjustment

With this Movie Camera, you can also adjust the white
balance manually.
Use this mode for special subjects and recording conditions,
such as listed (

l

 53), for which the Full Auto Mode is not

suitable, and for light sources outside the range

 (

l

 55).

Use it also when you want to manually adjust the white
balance for each new scene as professionals do.

1

Press the [PROG. AE] Button repeatedly until an
indication other than [AUTO] appears.

2

Attach the White Lens Cap and zoom in until the
entire screen is white.

3

Aim the Movie Camera at the subject that you
want to record and then keep the [W.B] Button
pressed until the [

1

] Indication 

1

 stops

flashing and remains lit.

¡

When the Sepia, Black & White, Yellow, Red, Blue,
Green Mode or 0 Lux Night View Function is used, it is
not possible to manually adjust the white balance or to
cancel the manually adjusted white balance setting.

In the following cases, the [

1

] Indication flashes:

¡

During manual adjustment of the white balance. (If the
surroundings are dark and the white balance cannot be
adjusted, the [

1

] Indication keeps flashing.)

¡

When the previously set white balance setting is maintained.

¡

When you are trying to adjust the white balance in the digital

zoom range (23

q

–250

q

balance in the optical zoom range (1

q

–22

q

back to within the Digital Zoom Mode.
