Various Recording Techniques
White balance mode
Selecting a white
balance mode
Adjusting the Colour
(White Balance)
Light is required when recording
subjects. While the naked eye
perceives colours as they are, images
recorded by a camera may appear
redder or bluer than they actually are.
To record white coloured subjects as
white images, adjust the white
balance.
The camcorder normally adjusts the
colour automatically (during Auto).
Change the white balance setting
according to the recording conditions.
Auto (No icon appears.)

When recording sunsets and
sunrises, recording in shade,
and recording a stage lit with a spot
light, you can manually adjust white
balance to match the light source or
situation.

To record in fine weather.
