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.

Press the [MENU] button to exit the menu.
A subject can be recorded under various types of lighting conditions
indoors (natural, fluorescent, candlelight, etc.). Because the colour
temperature is different depending on the light source, the subject's
tint will differ, affecting the subject's white balance. Use this function
to correct the white balance and provide a more natural result.
When you set white balance manually, the object you frame 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 to Auto may provide better
results.
Cancel the digital zoom function for clear and precise setting.
Reset the white balance if light conditions change.

Time Lapse Recording mode is released once recording has been finished. To start another Time Lapse Recording, repeat steps 1 to 6 on the previous page.
According to the video resolution, 50 or 25 captured images compose a video of 1 second length. Since the minimum length of a video that your camcorder can save
is one second, the interval defines the total minimum recording time for the Time Lapse Recording. For example, if you set the interval to 30 Sec, you need to set the
recording time for the Time Lapse Recording to at least 25 or 13 minutes to record a minimum video length of 1 second (50 or 25 images).
Press the [Recording start/stop] button if you want to stop the Time Lapse Recording.
Audio is not recorded during time lapse recording.
The maximum continuous recording time is under 20 minutes. The maximum video file size is 1.8GB. When a video recording time is more than 20 minutes or a video
file exceeds 1.8GB, a new video file is created automatically.
If the battery charge is exhausted during time lapse recording, the camcorder saves recording up to that point and switches to standby mode. After a while, it displays a
warning message, then turns off automatically.
If the storage media becomes full during time lapse recording, the camcorder switches to the standby mode after saving the recording up to the maximum memory
available.
We recommend using the power adaptor for a Time Lapse Recording instead of the battery.
When a time lapse recording starts, the message of Time Lapse Recording will blink even if you switch the information display mode to the minimum display mode.
This is normal operation. Do not remove the power source or memory card from the camcorder.

Make sure you’ve connected the camcorder to the correct input
jacks. The TV screen may not display the right image information if
connected incorrectly.
Do not use excessive force when connecting the cables.
We recommend you use the power adaptor as the power source.
When connecting to a TV using the Audio/Video cable, match the
colour of the cables to the colour of the corresponding jacks.
Video input may appear green depending on the TV. If this occurs,
connect the yellow plug of the Audio/Video cable to the green jack of
the TV.
If your TV has one audio jack (mono input), connect the yellow plug
of the Audio/Video cable to the video jack, the white plug to the
audio jack, and leave the red plug unconnected.
When you connect the camcorder to a TV using the Audio/Video
cable, images recorded in high definition image quality (1280x720/
25p) play back in standard definition image quality.
When the camcorder is connected to a TV with more than one kind
of cable, the camcorder outputs video signals in the following order
of priority: HDMI
