XHA1 too orange

[perfect_blue]

i have 2 screen grabs of footage taken from my XHA1 and my VX2100. The A1 footage comes out too orange in low light and i am pretty new to the camera so i am wondering if i flick the white balance will it fix it to match more natural colours? I mainly film weddings at the moment and i just thought the tone was real weird.

XHA1

For some reason when i export a frame it squashes it up but you see my point.

It looks like you were using the daylight preset instead of the incandescent one. Under the LCD there is a switch that will switch between daylight and incandescent. Make sure the white balance switch on the side of the camera is switched to preset, then slide the top switch to what looks light a light bulb. Of course best results will be achieved by switching the side switch to A or B, and then manually white balancing.
