The white balance refers to the correctness of 
color reproduction under various lighting. If the 
white balance is correct, all other colors will be 
accurately reproduced.
The white balance is usually adjusted 
automatically. However, more advanced 
camcorder operators control this function 
manually to achieve a more professional color/
tint reproduction.

To change the setting
Set “u” to the desired mode. (

● The selected mode indicator except “AUTO” 

appears.

[AUTO]: White balance is adjusted 
automatically.

 MWB: Adjust the white balance manually 

when shooting under various types of lighting. 
(

 FINE: Outdoors on a sunny day.

 CLOUD: Outdoors on a cloudy day.

 HALOGEN: A video light or similar type of 

lighting is used.

lighting.

Switch to “M”.

Hold a sheet of 

plain white paper in front of the subject. Adjust 
zoom or position yourself so that the white paper 
fills the screen.

Select “MWB” in “u W.BALANCE” menu 

墌 pg. 36), then press and hold SET until 

 

begins blinking.

● When the setting is completed, 

 stops blinking.

Press SET twice. The Menu Screen closes 

and the Manual White Balance indicator 

 is

paper. In such a case, adjust focus manually. 
(

● A subject can be shot under various types of 

lighting conditions indoors (natural, fluorescent, 
candlelight, etc.). Because the color temperature 
is different depending on the light source, the 
subject tint will differ depending on the white 
balance settings. Use this function for a more 
natural result.

● Once you adjust white balance manually, the 

setting is retained even if the power is turned off or 
the battery removed.
