-Synchro scan adjustment switches

These switches are used to adjust the synchro scan speed. Pressing the “p” switch reduces the shutter speed; pressing the “o” switch increases the shutter speed. Set these switches to a position where the side bar noise in the viewfinder is eliminated during personal computer monitor shooting, etc.

Note{

When these switches are used for UB/TC/CTL settings while the SET position has been select- ed as the TCG switch position, they will not serve their function as synchro scan adjustment switches. The TCG switch must be set to F-RUN or R-RUN for these switches to serve their function.

®WHITE BAL (white balance memory selector) switch

PRST: Set to this position when there is no time to adjust the white balance. The white bal- ance value for 3200 K is stored in the memory.

A or B: When the AUTO W/B BAL switch ± is pressed to the AWB side, the white balance is automatically adjusted in accordance with the setting position of the filter knob ¬, and the adjustment value is stored in memory A or memory B.

When the FILTER knob and the WHITE BAL switch are set to the same positions as the ones set when the adjustment was made, the adjustment value stored in the memory is called, and the unit is automatically adjusted to the white balance which corresponds to this value.

If the setting of this switch is changed when the menu display mode has been set to “3” (default setting), the new setting will appear at the WHITE BAL switch display position on the viewfinder screen. (Example: “A”)
