The white balance adjustment is selectable from the following.

ATW1 (default): Activates the automatic color temperature tracking mode. The camera contin- uously measures the color temperature of the light source and automatically adjusts the white balance. Manual fine adjustment is also enabled after automatic white balance set- ting. (page 36)

The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2 700 K to 6 000 K. If the sit- uation meets one of the following or other, color may not be accurately reproduced.

The subject is mostly highly-colored.

The photographic atmosphere is under the bright blue sky or at nightfall.

The illumination of the light illuminating the subject is low.

ATW2: Activates the sodium lamp automatic color temperature tracking mode. The camera automatically achieves an optimal white balance under the sodium lamp.

The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2 000 K to 6 000 K.

AWC: Activates the automatic white balance control mode. This adjustment is suitable for a location where a light source is stable. The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2 000 K to 10 000 K. When "AWC" is selected, the operation to adjust the white balance is required.
