98ª White Balance AdjustmentDepending on the type of light source, the colorsrecorded by the Palmcorder may be affected. Insome cases, images may be recorded with a bluishor reddish hue. To minimize the effect of light on thesubject’s color, White Balance Adjustment becomesnecessary.White Balance AdjustmentWhite Balance Adjustment recognizes the color oflight and makes adjustment so that the white colorwill become pure white.Auto White Balance AdjustmentThis Palmcorder stores settings that are optimal forseveral kinds of general light sources. ThePalmcorder determines the hue of light that itreceives through the lens and White BalanceSensor, thereby judging the recording condition, andselects the closest hue setting. This function iscalled Auto White Balance Adjustment.However, since white balance settings for onlycertain kinds of light sources are stored, the AutoWhite Balance function does not operate properlywhen recording occurs under light that is out of therange of the setting values.ª Time CodeTime Code signals are data that indicate timemeasured in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames(30 frames per second.)
