White balance adjustment recognizes the color 
of light and adjusts so the white color will 
become a purer white. The unit 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 unit only stores white color 
information under several light sources, 
automatic white balance adjustment does not 
function normally under other light sources.

The illustration above shows the range over 
which the auto white balance functions. 
1) The effective range of automatic white 

balance adjustment on this unit

2) Blue sky
3) Cloudy sky (rain)
4) TV screen 
5) Sunlight
6) White fluorescent lamp
7) Halogen light bulb
8) Incandescent light bulb
9) Sunrise or sunset
10) Candlelight
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 automatic white balance 

adjustment range, use the manual white 
balance adjustment mode.

The images recorded by the unit may become 
bluish or reddish under the influence of certain 
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 light, the unit can adjust the 
balance among the other colors.
Since the white color is the reference for all the 
colors (that make up light), the unit can record 
pictures in a natural hue if it can recognize the 
reference color white.
