The camcorder’s auto white balance
system compensates for a wide range of
lighting conditions. Although slight
variations are unavoidable, colors will
appear natural in virtually every
situation.
In some cases, you will get better
results by setting the white balance
yourself, or using one of the two preset
modes:
T
Indoor Mode
• Under halogen or studio/video
lighting
• Subject is of one dominant color
• Close ups
U
Outdoor mode
• In daylight, especially for close-
ups and where the subject is of
one dominant color
