Using the Full Auto White (FAW) Function

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 recorder is moved frequently in and out of places with different lighting conditions.

1Set to the Manual shooting mode.

2Set “FAW” in the recording menu.“ FAW ” (A p. 61)

You can assign FAW (Fulltime Auto White balance) to any of the three positions on the [WHT.BAL] switch ([A], [B], [PRST(PRESET)]).

3Set the [WHT.BAL] switch to the position that is assigned the FAW function.

Memo :

0Set the camera recorder to the Full Auto shooting mode to activate the FAW mode. White balance is automatically adjusted according to the color temperature of the lighting on the object.

0In these cases, white balance switching with the [WHT.BAL] selection switch is disabled.

Caution :

0The FAW 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.

0The accuracy of FAW is inferior to that of Auto White Balance.

0When the power of the camera recorder is turned on with the FAW mode selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW adjustment to complete. Do not start recording during this interval.
