Solution

The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture for accurate color display under different lighting conditions. In addition to the fully automated mode, white balance modes include an indoor mode, an outdoor mode, a color temperature setting and two user-defined custom preset values.

1. Set the ⋖ AWB ⋗ switch to ⋖ OFF ⋗.

2. Set the ⋖ WHITE BAL. ⋗ switch to ⋖ PRE ⋗.

3. Set the WHITE BAL. PRESET switch to ⋖ ⋗ or ⋖ ⋗.

You can also fine-tune the preset / settings.

1. Press the ⋖ WHITE BAL. ⋗ button so the preset icon starts flashing and the neutral value ±0 appears next to it.

2. Adjust the white balance with the ⋖ dial ⋗ to a value between -9 and +9.

3. Press the ⋖ WHITE BAL. ⋗ button again.
