White Balance
The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and ensure accurate colors
under different lighting conditions. There are 4 methods of setting the white balance.
Custom white balance: You can use a gray card or white object with no pattern to establish the white balance
and set it to one of two custom white balance positions,
Å
A or
Å
B.
Preset white balance: Set the white balance to
¼
(daylight) or (incandescent lamp). Preset white balance
settings can be further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to 9.
Set color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature between 2,000 K and 15,000 K.
Auto white balance: The camcorder automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level.
NOTES
• The [Color Matrix] (
A
117) and [White Balance] (
A
118, 120) custom picture settings take precedence over
the white balance settings.
• You can use the [

[Shockless WB] setting (
A
121) to make the
transition look smoother when you change the white balance settings.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can adjust the white
balance with the remote controller's AWB button, A button, B button, PRESET button and
Å
button.
Custom White Balance
1 Press the WB button.
• The white balance mode icon will be highlighted in orange.
• You can also select the white balance mode icon using only the
joystick (
A
56).
2 Push the joystick up/down to select the
Å
A or
Å
B icon.
• If a custom white balance has been stored previously, press the
joystick to set the stored custom white balance. You do not need
to perform the rest of the procedure.
• If a custom white balance has not yet been stored, the custom
white balance icon
Å
A or
Å
B and default value (5,500 K) will
flash slowly.
• Continue the procedure to establish the custom white balance.
3 Point the camcorder at a gray card or white object so that it fills the whole screen.
• Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when recording.
4 Press the
Å
button.
• The
Å
A or
Å
B icon will flash quickly.
• Make sure the gray card or white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.
• After the icon stops flashing, the procedure is completed. The setting is retained even if you turn off the
camcorder.
NOTES
• Readjust the custom white balance if the light source or ND filter setting changes.
• Very rarely and depending on the light source,
Å
may keep flashing (it will change to a slow flashing). The
result will still be better than with the auto white balance.
