White balance mode

Selecting a white 
balance mode

Light is required when recording 
subjects. While the naked eye 
perceives colors as they are, images 
recorded by a camera may appear 
redder or bluer than they actually are. 
To record white colored subjects as 
white images, adjust the white 
balance.
The camcorder normally adjusts the 
color automatically (during Auto).
Change the white balance setting 
according to the recording conditions.

When recording sunsets and 
sunrises, recording in shade, 

and recording a stage lit with a spot 
light, you can manually adjust white 
balance to match the light source or 
situation.
