“DSABL”. However, regardless of the mixed 
format recording mode setting, it is always 
possible to mix clips in the following format 
groups.
• HD420 HQ, SP, and LP
• 1080/59.94i and 1080/29.97P
• 1080/50i and 1080/25P

To ensure excellent image quality when using this 
camcorder, conditions may require that both the 
black balance and the white balance be adjusted.

Black balance adjustment

The black balance will require adjustment in the 
following cases.
• When the camcorder is used for the first time
• When the camcorder has not been used for a 

long time

• When the camcorder is used under conditions in 

which the surrounding temperature has changed 
greatly

• When the GAIN selector (L/M/H) values have 

been changed by using the USER menu

It is not usually necessary to adjust the black 
balance when using the camcorder after it has 
been off.

White balance adjustment

Always readjust the white balance when the 
lighting conditions change.

Viewfinder screen displays

If the black balance or white balance adjustment 
is started, messages that report on the progress 
and results are displayed on the viewfinder screen 
when the VF DISP MODE item is set to “2” or 
“3” on the VF DISP 1 page of the USER menu.

Note

Black balance and white balance adjustment values that 
are automatically set by the camcorder and the various 
settings are stored in the camcorder memory and retained 
even when the power is turned off.

In automatic black balance mode, adjustments are 
performed in the following order: black set and 
black balance. Manual black balance adjustment 
can be selected from the setup menu.

For details of manual black balance adjustment, 
refer to the Maintenance Manual.
