Changing the White Balance
The White Balance mode is a function for adjusting the white balance so that color
balance is natural under any type of lighting. Normally, the Auto mode is used. When
in the Auto mode, the white balance of white areas is automatically adjusted to a
standard, so white objects will appear white under any type of lighting. Because of this,
the white balance may not be correct with subjects having white areas or dark areas.
In such cases, change to the White Balance mode before the start of recording.
