White balance
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
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.
Recording a subject behind dirty or dusty glass
≥The subject behind the glass will not be focused 
because the focus is on the dirty glass.
Recording a subject that is surrounded by 
objects with glossy surfaces or by highly 
reflective objects
≥The recording subject may become blurry 
because the Camcorder focuses on the 
objects with glossy surfaces or on highly 
reflective objects.
Recording a subject in dark surroundings
≥The Camcorder cannot focus correctly 
because the light information that comes 
through the lens decreases considerably.
Recording a fast-moving subject
≥As the focus lens-inside moves mechanically, 
it cannot keep up with a fast-moving subject.
Recording a subject with little contrast
≥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.
