White Balance Set the white balance according to the light source to achieve natural color in the video. (1) (2) (3) (4) (1) White Balance mode [Auto] The white balance is adjusted automatically. Important • When the subject has only one color, is under low light conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain other fluorescent lighting is used, [Auto] may not adjust colors appropriately. • If [Auto] is set, and the subject appears greenish under mercury lamps, set white balance to [Light Source] and select [Mercury Lamp]. If the colors in the video are still not appropriate under mercury lamps even when you select [Mercury Lamp], use [One-shot WB]. [Light Source] Select the light source from the pull-down menu in (2) to suit the camera usage. Important Since the light source selection options are based on representative characteristics, appropriate colors may not be achieved depending on the applicable light source. If this occurs, use the [One-shot WB] function. [Manual] Use (3) and (4) to manually adjust the white balance. (2) Select a Light Source If you select [Light Source] for the white balance, select a light source. [Daylight Fluorescent] Select this option to capture video under daylight fluorescent lighting. [White Fluorescent] Select this option to capture video under day white fluorescent or white fluorescent lighting. [Warm Fluorescent] Select this option to capture video under warm fluorescent lighting. [Mercury Lamp] Select this option to capture video under mercury lamps. [Sodium Lamp] Select this option to capture video under orange sodium lamps. [Halogen Lamp] Select this option to capture video under halogen lamps or incandescent bulbs. (3) [One-shot WB] If you set white balance to [Manual], this will force the white balance to match the light source and lock the setting. Setting Method Example: Illuminate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the light source, making sure the subject fills the entire screen, and then use [One-shot WB]. 164
