White Balance
Auto White Balance
This adjustment is necessary to assure natural colour rendition.
For continuous automatic White Balance adjustment, just turn the
Movie Camera on. This setting will automatically provide well-
balanced natural colour rendition under almost any shooting
condition.
Manual White Balance Adjustment
1 Attach the White Cap to the lens.
2 Keep pressing the “T” Button of the Power Zoom Control
Buttons until the screen in the EVF becomes completely white.
3 Slide open the cover on the lens part, then keep the White
Balance Button pressed for more than 1 second.

the adjustment;
Flashing slowly......................... Not set
Flashing rapidly ....................... During setting
The indication “W.SET’is lit ..... Setting is finished
• How to Use the White Cap
If there is only one light source, attach the White Cap to the
lens for the manual white balance adjustment. If there are
several light sources or if the illuminations is weak (indoor,
etc.), remove the White Cap from the lens and point the Movie
Camera at a purely white subject, such as white paper, and
then adjust the White Balance.
•Automatic Recall of Previous White balance Setting
When the Operation Switch of the Movie Camera is turned off
and later on again, the “WHITE" Indication will flash slowly,
however, the last previous white balance setting is still
maintained. However, to ensure best possible colour
reproduction, adjust the white balance anew as explained
above. It is also maintained during Playback, Rec Review and
Camera Search. However, the previous white balance
setting will no longer be maintained when the AC Adaptor is
turned off or the Battery Pack is removed from the Movie
Camera.
•When moving the Movie Camera from indoors to outdoors or
vice versa, be sure to adjust the white balance anew, as the
colour of the light has changed considerably.
