White balance and black balance

White balance
In order to reproduce the white accurately, adjust
the ratio between the three RGB primary colors.
If the white balance is not adjusted properly,
not only will the white be reproduced poorly, but
the color tones of the entire screen will also be
downgraded. When you are shooting in manual
mode, readjust the white balance whenever
lighting conditions change. You can save the white
balance adjustment values in W.SET. You can also
use the preset values. Use the settings that suit the
shooting conditions.

In order to reproduce the black accurately, adjust
the ratio between the three RGB primary colors. If

will the black be reproduced poorly, but the color
tones of the entire screen will also be downgraded.
It is not normally necessary to adjust the black
balance, but adjustment is necessary if using the
portable recorder when the ambient temperature
has changed greatly.
