A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.).
Because the colour temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject tint will differ depending on
the white balance settings. Use this function for a more natural result.
The white balance can not be used while EASY Q is in use.
It is recommended that you specify
"Digital Zoom"
to
"Off"
before setting white balance.

Reset the white balance if lighting conditions change.
During normal outdoor recording, setting to auto may provide better results.
Do not use a coloured object when setting white balance: The appropriate tint cannot be set.
