NOTES
NOTES
• Readjust the custom white balance if the light source changes.
• Very rarely and depending on the light source,
Å
may keep flashing (it will change to a slow flashing). The
result will still be better than with auto white balance.
• After the camcorder registers a custom white balance, the color temperature or CC value may appear in gray.
This indicates that the value registered exceeds the range of values that can be displayed but the white
balance is correctly calibrated and you can continue shooting.
