Range of Features
Setting the white balance manually will probably work
better than auto white balance when shooting:
Subjects with one dominant colour, such as sky, sea or
forest
Close-ups
In rapidly changing lighting conditions
In places lit by certain types of fluorescent or mercury
vapour lights
Notes:
• Turn the digital zoom off (if necessary) to set a more accurate white
balance.
• If you have set the white balance and lighting conditions change, reset the
white balance.
• Try to record with light from a single source. Correct white balance cannot
be obtained for two types of lighting at once.
• You cannot set the white balance or choose the indoor/outdoor mode
when the program selector is set to the [ (Easy Recording) program.
• The white balance returns to the AUTO setting when you slide the program
selector to [ (Easy Recording).
• The camcorder retains the setting even if you turn the camcorder off.
• During normal outdoor shooting, setting to AUTO may provide better
results.
