<Notes>

On rare occasions, AWB cannot be adjusted and a

NG display appears. In a case like this, adjust AWB again.

When there is no time to adjust the white balance

Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance for the filter is achieved in accordance with the setting position of the FILTER control (outer).

White balance memories

There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B.

When the FILTER INH setting on the CAMERA SW MODE screen of CAM MENU is ON (default setting), the number of memories for set A and set B is limited to one each. In this case, the memory contents are not coupled with the filter.

When FILTER INH is set to OFF, the adjustment values for each filter can be automatically saved in the memories corresponding to the WHITE BAL switch settings (A or B). This unit contains four filters so that a total of 8 (4 a2) adjustment values are saved.

White balance search area

It is possible to set the white balance search area to either 90% or 50% by changing the AWB AREA setting on the OPTION screen of the CAM MENU.
