White balance adjustment

Since the colour of light (light temperature) changes depending on the light source, readjust the

white balance (AUTO WHITE) when the light source of the object changes.

In the digital output mode, white balance adjustment should be performed using the special

application software [KY-LINK].

Temporarily return the shutter setting to below 1 sec and launch the auto white balance function, or set the [WHITE BAL] item to “MANUAL” or “PRESET”.

Pressing the [AW] button in the FREEZE condition, cancels the freeze.
