the Auto Warning inicator in the 1.5’ viewfinder and the Auto Warning Indicator (129) or (179) on the RCU blink. These indicators go out after the adjustment is completed. When the white balance has been cor- rectly set, the blinking ‘AWC A’ or ‘AWC 8’ in the viewfinder turns into ‘AWC A OK’ or ‘AWC B OK’, respectively. This indication disappears after a few seconds.

The white balance should also be reset when moving to another light source that is not covered by any of the settings in the two white balance memories.
