Samsung SMX-K40LN-XAA - Manual (Page 71)

English _57
A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions indoors (natural, fl uorescent, candlelight, etc.).
Because the color 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.
Reset the white balance if lighting conditions change.
During normal outdoor recording, setting to auto may provide better results.
Do not use a colored object when setting white balance: The appropriate tint cannot be set.
