You can select one of four modes for white balance adjustment as follows:

 

- ATW1/ATW2(Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode): In these modes, the

 

color temperature is monitored continuously and thereby white balance is

 

set automatically. The following are the approximate supported color

 

temperature ranges in these modes.

 

ATW1 : 2500K ~ 9300K(✻1)

 

ATW2 : 2000K ~ 10000K(Mode recommended for sodium lighting)(✻2)

 

✻ 1. If the color temperature is out of this range in ATW1 mode, proper

 

white balance may not be obtained. In that case, select ATW2 mode.

 

✻ 2. In ATW2 mode, if one color is dominated in the shooted area, the

E

color can be displayed differently.

 

Therefore, select the mode which is appropriate for the environment.

 

-AWC(Auto-Tracing White Balance Control): In this mode, accurate white balance is obtained by pressing [ENTER] while having a white paper in front of the camera. White Balance data will be maintained after set it once. AWC mode is best in locations where the color temperature of light source is constant.

-MANU : If WHITE BAL menu is set to MANU mode, the user can set the white Balance considering the current illumination. Select MANU item and press [ENTER], the sub screen where you can select Manual White Balance will be shown. Use the left/right keys to select 3200K, 5600K or OFF(USER) mode in the PRESET menu.

-3200K : Set color temperature to 3200K

-5600K : Set color temperature to 5600K

-USER : Choose out a proper value from the RED and BLUE graph for color and temperature setup.
