The MENU SET/OFF switch must be set to the OFF position to make this adjustment.

ÁIn rare instances the white balance adjustment may not be possible and an NG display will appear.

In a case like this, proceed with the white balance adjustment again.

When there is no Time to Adjust the White Balance

Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST.

The white balance for the filter is automatically adjusted according to the setting position of the FILTER knob (outside).

White balance memories

The white balance memories fall into two categories, A and B.

The number of A and B memories is limited to 1 each when FILTER INH is set to ON (default setting) on the “CAMERA SW MODE” SUB menu page of MAIN menu screen 2 of 4.

In this case, the contents of the memories are not linked to the filter.

However, when FILTER INH is set to OFF, the adjustments values for each filter can be automat- ically stored in the memory corresponding to the WHITE BAL switch setting (A or B).

The unit contains 4 filters, making a total of 8 (4q2) adjustment values which can be stored.
