White Balance Adjustment
White balance refers to how accurate
color is reproduced under various
lighting conditions. If the white
balance is correct, all other colors will
be reproduced correctly as well.
White balance is usually adjusted
automatically. Users who want more
control over this function, though, can
manually adjust the camcorder’s
white balance settings.
1. Press in the Lock Button and
rotate the Power Switch to manual
(
M
) record.
2. Press in the MENU/BRIGHT dial
to display the on-screen menus.
3. Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT dial
to select the W.BAL icon ( ).
Press in the MENU/BRIGHT dial
to display the submenus.
4. Rotate the MENU/BRIGHT dial
to highlight the desired setting.
AUTO– white balance is
automatically adjusted by the
camcorder.
MAN – white balance is set
manually.
– outdoors, sunny day.

– video lighting is used.
5. Press in the MENU/BRIGHT dial
to make the selection.
Returning to Automatic White
Balance:
In step 4, select AUTO , or set the
Power Switch to automatic (
A
) record.
Note : Manual white balance cannot be
used when Sepia or Monotone special
effects are in use.
Manual White Balance
Operation
1. To set the white balance to manual
control, follow steps 1-4 in the
previous section, then select the
MAN option .
2. Hold a sheet of plain white paper
in front of the subject. Adjust the
zoom or move the camcorder so
that the white paper fills the screen.
3. Press in the MENU/BRIGHT dial
until the icon begins blinking.
When the setting is complete, the
icon stops blinking.
4. Press in the MENU/BRIGHT dial
to complete setting manual
balance. Only the manual white
balance icon (
) is displayed.
To Change the Tint for Recording:
In step 2 of White Balance Adjustment ,
substitute colored paper for white. The
white balance is adjusted based on the
color, changing the tint. Red paper will
produce deeper greens, blue produces
deeper oranges, and yellow produces
deeper violets.
Notes :
It may be difficult for the camcorder to
focus on a white sheet of paper. Use
manual focus instead.
Because color temperature is different
depending on lighting sources (natural or
fluorescent light, candlelight, etc.), the
subject tint will differ depending on the
white balance settings. Adjusting white
balance manually may produce more
natural images.
Once manual white balance has been set,
it remains set even if the camcorder’s
power is turned off or the power supply is
removed.
