Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color 
of light and adjusts so that white will become pure 
white. The Camcorder determines the hue of light 
that comes through the Lens and the White 
Balance Sensor, thereby judging the recording 
condition, and selects the closest hue setting. 
This function is called Automatic White Balance 
Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White 
Balance Adjustment range, use the Manual White 
Balance Adjustment Mode.

your hand during recording because White 
Balance will not function normally.
≥The red light from the Recording Lamp 
(27) will 
be reflected off your hand or an object, possibly 
causing the White Balance sensor to operate 
incorrectly and changing the coloring.
