prefer to control this function manually and achieve a
more professional color/tint reproduction.

source so you can shoot with natural colors that are
unaffected by surroundings, even when there are
multiple subjects with different color temperatures.

NOTES:
●
To switch to automatic white balance
adjustment, set the M.W.B. in the Menu
Screen to “AUTO”, or turn the Select Dial to
“AUTO LOCK”.
●
Re-adjust the White Balance when the
lighting has changed, when the camcorder
has been turned off and on again, or when
the Select Dial’s position has been changed.
●
When adjusted by putting colored paper in
front of the subject in step 1 of “MWB”, this
unit makes its color temperature standard for
automatic white balance. So you can enjoy
shooting with different colors. For example,
when adjusting with red, blue or yellow
colors, the image becomes the color which
approximates to green, orange or purple
respectively.
