Use the auto setting for normal outdoor scenes.
Depending on the type of fluorescent light, optimal color balance cannot be
accomplished with [FLUORESCENT] or [FLUORESCENT H]. If the color looks
unnatural on the screen, adjust using [AUTO] or [SET].
The camcorder retains the custom white balance setting even if you turn it off.
When you want to use a previously made [SET] setting, after selecting [SET] in
step 3, press the FUNC. button without pressing the SET dial.
When you have set the custom white balance:
- Depending on the light source, “
” may keep flashing. The result will still be
better than with the auto setting.
- Reset the white balance when the lighting condition changes.
- Turn off the digital zoom.
Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases:
- Changing lighting conditions
- Close-ups
- Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)
- Under mercury lamps or certain types of fluorescent lights
