White Balance
The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and ensure accurate colors
under different lighting conditions. There are 3 methods of setting the white balance.
Custom white balance: You can use a white object to establish the white balance and set it to one of two custom
white balance positions,
Å
A or
Å
B.
Set color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature between 2,000 K and 15,000 K.
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.
When recording under fluorescent lights, we recommend setting the custom white balance.
