While referring to the monitor, shoot a white subject (such as a wall or sheet of paper) in full screen under the same lighting conditions as those that will exist during the actual shoot.

Set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [AUTO].

Hold the [SET] switch to the right. [AUTO WHITE] will blink in the upper left corner of the monitor screen. When white balance adjustment is complete, this indication changes to [AUTO WHITE OK].

For further fine adjustment, use the [ADJ R]/[ADJ B] volume controls for FINE ADJ.

If the indication in the upper left corner of the monitor screen does not change to [AUTO WHITE OK], white balance has not been completely ad- justed.

Check the following points, then retry auto white balance adjustment.

1.Is the light insufficient? Adjust the lighting.

2.Did you shoot a coloured subject? Shoot a white subject.

Connect a measuring instrument such as a waveform monitor to the video signal output jacks and adjust the white balance while watching the waveform.

First, set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [MANUAL]. Adjust the PB, PR output amplitudes to the minimum with the [R]/[B] volume controls.

Adjust the PR with the [R] volume control and the PB with the [B] volume control.

If a measuring instrument is not available, adjust the picture on the monitor screen until it is white. In this case, high-precision white balance cannot be obtained.

Set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [PRESET]. When a halogen lamp is used as a light source, check the MENU-PAGE 1's [PRESET W.B.] menu, and set the [3200K/5600K] switch to 3200K. If a light source similar to sunlight is used, set this switch to 5600K.

For further fine adjustment, use the [ADJ R]/[ADJ B] volume controls for FINE ADJ.
