To set the custom white balance Point the camcorder at a white object, so it fills the whole screen, and touch [Set WB]. When the adjustment is completed, Å stops flashing and disappears. The camcorder will retain the custom white balance even if you turn it off. Options ( Default value) [Ã Automatic] The camcorder automatically sets the white balance for natural looking colors. [¼ Daylight] To record outdoors on a bright day. [½ Shade] To record in shaded places. [¾ Cloudy] To record on a cloudy day. [¿ Fluorescent] To record under warm white or warm-white-type (3-wavelength) fluorescent lighting. [À Fluorescent H] To record under daylight or daylight-type (3-wavelength) fluorescent lighting. [ Tungsten] To record under tungsten and tungsten-type (3-wavelength) fluorescent lighting. [Å Custom WB] Use the custom white balance setting to make white subjects appear white under colored lighting. NOTES • When you select the custom white balance: - Set p > [Digital Zoom] to [j Off]. - Reset the white balance when you change locations or the lighting or other conditions change. - Depending on the light source, Å may keep flashing. The result will still be better than with [Ã Automatic]. • Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases: - Changing lighting conditions - Close-ups - Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest) - Under mercury lamps, certain types of fluorescent lights and LED lights • Depending on the type of fluorescent light, optimal color balance may not be obtained with [¿ Fluorescent] or [À Fluorescent H].
