White Balance

Making colors look natural is what white balance is all about.  This is achieved by
adjusting the way the camcorder “sees” and records the light source in the scene
you record.  Your camcorder is equipped with automatic white balance.
You might want to adjust white balance manually under certain conditions, such as
recording an object with various shades of the same color or when recording a
predominantly red or brown object outdoors.

Auto White Balance

During auto white balance, the camcorder
adjusts the white balance.
