[Recif]

Hi,

Does anyone have tryied this function? Does it works?
I need wide angle but this one have no red filter... And the manufacturer says we can use the outdoor mode on the camcorder...
thanks

The outdoor setting is the best option if you don't manual white balance, but don't expect outstanding colors. It will look blueish, but better than in auto, for sure.

Ok, so I can forget this solution... Thanks!

outdoor puts some red in, indoor some blue. manual wb is better.

If anything try "Cloudy Day" settings! Opens Iris and adds red, I would agree White Balance is the best, but if not available????

If you can afford it and would like to get much better videos, I would suggest to get a new camera with manual W/B and a slate since nowadays there are lots of affordable HD video cams in the market.
