Caution

●When this unit is set as below, auto white cannot be activated.

•When the “SHUTTER” item under “EXPOSURE” screen is set to “SLOW”.

Full-time Auto White (FAW) Function

Automatic adjustment of white balance according to different illumination conditions.

This mode is useful when there is no time to readjust white balance or when camera is frequently moved to locations with different illumination conditions.

●However, white balance cannot be properly achieved in cases that are beyond the adjustable range of the full-time auto white function, such as when there is only one colour or little white colour in the object.

●Precision of FAW deteriorates when compared with auto white balance.

●When power is turned on in the FAW mode, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW automatic adjust- ment to end.
