WHITE BAL
If you need to adjust the color according to the ambient illumination, you can use the <WHITE BAL> function.
For selecting and saving each menu item, refer to “How to use the keyboard controller”. (page 22)
Illumination is generally referred to as color temperature, which is represented in a measurement of kelvin (K). Color temperatures for ordinary lighting are as follows:

In the <WHITE BAL> menu, you can set a mode for correcting the <WHITE BAL>.
-ATW1,2 : If you set the <WHITE BAL> menu to <ATW1> or <ATW2> mode, this will monitor the change of the color temperature to correct the <WHITE BAL> as needed.
The following color temperature ranges are assured in individual modes:
ATW1 : 2500K ~ 9300K (1)
ATW2 : 2000K ~ 10000K

1 : With <ATW1> mode active in a color temperature environment ranging beyond between 2500K and 9300K, a proper white balance value may not be produced; if this is the case, you are recommended to use <ATW2> mode.
2 : With <ATW2> mode active in a mostly single color environment, the display color and the actual one may differ; so select a mode as appropriate to your color temperature environment.
