White balance adjustment recognizes the color of 
light and adjusts so the white color will become a 
pure white. The Camcorder determines the hue of 
light that comes through the lens and white 
balance sensor, thereby judging the recording 
condition, and selects the closest hue setting. 
This is called automatic white balance 
adjustment. However, since the Camcorder only 
stores white color information under several light 
sources, automatic white balance adjustment 
does not function normally under the other light 
sources. 

Outside of the effective range of automatic white 
balance adjustment, the image will become 
reddish or bluish. Even within the effective range 
of automatic white balance adjustment, the 
automatic white balance adjustment may not 
function properly if there is more than one light 
source. For light outside the functional auto white 
balance adjustment range, use the manual white 
balance adjustment mode.

The image recorded by the Camcorder may 
become bluish or reddish under the influence of 
light sources. To avoid such phenomena, adjust 
the white balance.
White balance adjustment determines the white 
color under different light sources. By recognizing 
which is the white color under sunlight and which 
is the white color under a fluorescent lamp, the 
Camcorder can adjust the balance among the 
other colors.
Since white is the reference of all colors (light), 
the Camcorder can record pictures in a natural 
hue if it can recognize the reference white color.

Auto focus automatically moves the focusing lens 
forward and backward inside the Camcorder to 
bring the subject into focus.
Auto focus has the following characteristics.
≥Adjusts so that the vertical lines of a subject are 

seen more clearly.

≥Attempts to bring an object with higher contrast 

into focus.

≥Focuses on the screen center only.
Due to these characteristics, auto focus does not 
work correctly in the following situations. Record 
pictures in the manual focus mode.
Recording a subject with one end located 
closer to the Camcorder and the other end 
farther away from it

≥As auto focus adjusts at the center of an 

image, it may be impossible to focus on a 
subject that is located in both the foreground 
and background.

≥The subject behind the glass will not be focused 

because the focus is on the dirty glass.

≥The recording subject may become blurry 

because the Camcorder focuses on the 
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly 
reflective objects.

≥The Camcorder cannot focus correctly 

because the light information that comes 
through the lens decreases considerably.

≥As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, 

it cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject.

≥A subject with little contrast, such as a white 

wall, may become blurry because the 
Camcorder achieves focus based upon the 
vertical lines of an image.
