Canon VM-E70 - WHITE BALANCE; White Balance Adjustment; White Balance Lock; When to Use White Balance Lock

WHITE BALANCE
White balance is an adjustment made to make white subjects look white and to
obtain natural colour in a recording (see p. 39). VM-E70's white balance adjustment
is set automatically when VM-E70 is turned on and the setting is adequate for shoot¬
ing under normal conditions. But, if a more accurate adjustment is desired a manual
white balance “lock" is provided.
WHITE BALANCE LOCK
* The zooming lever should be set to telephoto end
(54mm).
Notes
* WB LOCK clears automatically whenever the
VM-E70 is turned off and whenever playback is
started.
• If light source changes during WB LOCK, set
white balance again.
W8 LOCK also works without using white paper.
Set zooming lever to wide end (9mm) and press
white balance select button. White balance adjusts
automatically for that scene (not suitable for scene
with single colour or macro recording).
TIMES WHEN WHITE BALANCE
