Repeat steps 2 to 4 to set the all of the desired items.

a) In HQ mode or LP mode, as a result of MPEG2 compression, the recording 

time varies depending on the volume of the generated compressed image 
data, with the above figures as a minimum. For example, in material with 
little movement, the recording time may be significantly longer than 
shown above.

Combining recording formats on a single disc
If any of the following items is set differently, recordings 
cannot be combined on a single disc.
• SYSTEM
• REC  FORMAT
• AUDIO CH
• COUNTRY

To ensure excellent image quality when using this 
camcorder, conditions may require that both the black 
balance and the white balance be adjusted.
If the black balance or white balance adjustment is started, 
messages that report on the progress and results are 
displayed on the viewfinder screen.

Black balance and white balance adjustment values that 
are automatically set by the camcorder and the various 
settings are stored in the camcorder memory and retained 
even when the power is turned off.

The black balance will require adjustment in the following 
cases.
• When the camcorder is used for the first time
• When the camcorder has not been used for a long time
• When the camcorder is used under conditions in which 

the surrounding temperature has changed greatly

• When the GAIN switch (L/M/H) values have been 

changed on the GAIN SW page of the OPERATION 
menu

It is not usually necessary to adjust the black balance when 
using the camcorder after it has been off.
In automatic black balance mode, adjustments are 
performed in the following order: clamp level, black set, 
and black balance.

Power the camcorder on, and set the OUTPUT/DCC 
switch to CAM.

Push the AUTO W/B BAL switch to BLK and release 
the switch.

The switch returns to the center position, and the 
adjustment is executed.
During adjustment, the following message is displayed 
on the viewfinder screen.

The black balance adjustment ends in a few seconds 
with the message “ABB: OK” and the adjustment 
value is automatically stored in memory.

• During the black balance adjustment, the iris is 

automatically closed.

• During the black balance adjustment, the gain selection 

circuit is automatically activated so you may see 
flickering on the viewfinder screen, but this is not a 
malfunction.
