Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the color of light 
and adjusts so that white will appear 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 function is called Automatic White 
Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White Balance 
Adjustment range, use the Manual White Balance 
Adjustment Mode.
