Set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [AUTO]. When you press and hold [SETTING] button, [AUTO WHITE] will blink at the upper left corner of the screen. When white balance adjustment is complete, the indication changes to [AUTO WHITE OK]. If the indication at the upper left corner of the monitor screen does not changes to [AUTO WHITE OK], it means white balance adjustment has not been completed. Check the following items, and retry auto white balance adjustment. 1. Is lighting sufficient? (Adjust the lighting.) Or is lighting too bright ? 2. Did you shoot a coloured object? (Shoot a white object.) Connect a measuring instrument such as a waveform monitor to the HD output jack, and adjust the white balance while watching the waveform. First, set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [MANUAL]. Adjust PB and PR output amplitudes to the minimum with [R]/ [B] volume controls. Adjust PR with [R] volume control, and PB with [B] volume control. If measuring instrument is not available, adjust the picture on the monitor screen until it turns white. In this case, highprecision white balance cannot be obtained. 17
