■AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE CONTROL (AWC) There are two white balance memories, “AWC A” or “AWC B” for two different light sources color temperatures, with the white balance setting. Then, when the two different light sources are encountered, you may properly operate the camera by simply change the white balance mode to either AWC A (A CH) or AWC B (B CH). There is no need to readjust the camera to the ambient conditions.
*The preset conditions will be renewed whenever you input new conditions.
1.Turn the white balance selection switch to either “AWC A” or “AWC B” of RCU or select the white balance mode either A CH or B CH by SETUP menu.
2.Aim the camera at a white object (a white wall or a white handkerchief) and zoom in to enlarge the image as much as possible.
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
3.In normal shooting mode:
Press the AWC (Item) switch for over 1 second. In SETUP menu mode:
Select WHITE BAL and press the page switch for over 1 second.
In either case white balance is automatically set in 2 seconds.
[ADJUSTMENT WITH THE RCU (RCB)]
4.When the auto white/auto black set switch is turned to AWC, the white balance will be automatically set regardless of camera operation mode. While the sys- tem is being set, auto warning indicator (LED) blinks and it goes out when the white balance setting is com- pleted. If the lamp remains lit, setting must be tried again.
5.If the painting mode is ON in the page No.1 of the INI- TIAL SET menu white balance fine adjustment can be performed with the red gain/blue gain adjustment con- trol.
