When You Want More Control
Exposure
The camcorder determines the optimal exposure of a scene
based on the average brightness of the whole picture. When you
want to record a subject that is much brighter or darker than its
surroundings, the automatic exposure obtained by the cam-
corder may not be best for that specific subject.
To correct this, you can compensate the exposure to make the
whole picture brighter or darker, you can use Touch AE to tell the
camcorder to optimize the exposure for a selected subject, or
you can use a combination of both.
• When you select the custom white balance:
- Reset the white balance when you change locations
or the lighting or other conditions change.
- Depending on the light source, Å may keep flash-
ing. The result will still be better than with
[Ã Automatic].
• 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, certain types of fluorescent
lights and LED lights.
