manual abstract
• The icon of the selected mode appears on the left side of the screen. Options [Backlight] K: Suitable when recording backlit scenes. [Standard]: Averages the light metered from the entire screen, giving more weight to the subject in the center. [Spotlight] J: Use this option when recording a scene in which only a certain part of the picture is lit. NOTES • When you set the camcorder to full auto mode (042), [Light Metering] will be set to [Standard]. • If you set an assignable button to [Backlight] or [Spotlight] (097), you can press the button to change the light metering mode. White Balance 60 White Balance The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture for accurate color display under different lighting conditions. There are 4 methods of setting the white balance. Auto white balance: The camcorder automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level. Preset white balance: Set the white balance to either [Daylight] (5,400 K) or [Tungsten] (3,200 K). Set color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature between 2,000 K and 15,000 K. Custom white balance: You can use a white object to measure the white balance and set it to one of two preset positions. When recording under fluorescent lights, we recommend using auto white balance or setting the custom white balance. NOTES • The settings in the [Custom Picture] [Color Matrix] and [White Balance] settings (099) take precedence over the white balance settings. Auto White Balance The camcorder constantly adjusts the white balance automatically to achieve an optimal level. The camcorder will adjust the white balance if the light source changes. Press the WB button. • The A icon appears next to the color temperature on the screen. If another icon appears or no icons appear, press the button again until the A icon appears. • When you set the camcorder to full auto mode (042), auto white balance mode will be activated.
