The FAW function adjusts the white balance value automatically as the lighting condition changes.

This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the white balance or when the camera is moved frequently in and out of places under different lighting conditions.

Setting procedure

The FAW function can be activated with the FAW item on the CAMERA OPERATION menu. This item allows allocation of the FAW function to one of the WHT.BAL switch positions, A, B or PRST.

See “CAMERA OPERATION Menu Screen” on page 69.

CAUTION: The FAW (Full-time Auto White balance) function cannot provide optimum white balance with a subject outside the FAW adjustment range, for example when it contains only a single color or not enough white color.

If this setting is wrong or neglected, the unit’s display of remaining battery power and generation of battery alarm will not work correctly.

This setting is valid when a battery pack is used. It is invalid when a DC power supply is used.
