Understanding White Balance

The White Balance (WB) process removes unrealistic colour casts, so that white objects are rendered white in your image and all other colours look natural. Proper white balance has to take into account the “colour temperature” of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.

The “(Manual background) Set White Balance” indicator appears.

2.Fill the screen with a white subject, and then touch the ( Manual background ) tab.

The camcorder stores the white balance setting.

3.To exit the menu, touch the Exit ( Manual background ) or Return (Manual background) tab.

The camcorder applies the stored white balance the next time you record.

• When setting the white balance manually, the subject must be white, otherwise, your camcorder may not detect an appropriate setting value.

The adjusted setting remains until you set the white balance again.

During normal outdoor recording, setting White Balance to “Auto” may provide better results.
