White balance memories

The values stored in the memories are retained even after the unit’s power has been turned off until the white balance is next adjusted. There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B.

When ON has been selected (initial setting) as the setting for the FILTER INH item on the <WHITE BALANCE MODE> screen opened from the OPERATION page by performing menu operations, the number of memories is limited to one in A and one in B. In this case, the memory contents are not coupled with the CC filter.

When FILTER INH is set to OFF, the adjustment values for each CC filter can be automatically saved in the memories corresponding to the WHITE BAL switch settings (A or B). This unit contains four filters so that a total of 8 (4a2) adjustment values are saved.

When the S. GAIN function operates, the AWB switch is not activated and is the PRST value of the WHITE BAL switch.
