Adjusting White Balance Manually
White Balance Adjustment recognizes the colour of light and makes
adjustment so that the white colour will become pure white. The Movie
Camera determines the hue of light that it receives through the Lens and
White Balance Sensor
(
l
6),
thereby judging the recording condition, and
selects the closest hue setting. This function is called Automatic White
Balance Adjustment.
For light outside the functional Auto White Balance Adjustment range, use
the Manual White Balance Adjustment Mode.

About White Balance Sensor
The White Balance Sensor
1
determines the nature of the light source
during recording.
≥Do not cover the White Balance Sensor with your hand during recording.
Otherwise, White Balance will not function normally.
≥The red light from the Tally Lamp
2
will be reflected off your hand or
object, possibly causing the White Balance sensor to operate incorrectly
and changing the colouring.
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. In
this case, adjust the White Balance.
