Auto trace white balance (ATW) automatically adjusts the white balance to provide optimal colors, even if the light source for the target object is changed.

Enable the smart ATW function here because ATW may not produce desirable results if a single solid color occupies a large part of the subject.

1 In [WHITE BALANCE], select “ATW”.

2 In [SMART ATW], select “ON” and click SET .

The camera now adjusts the white balance automatically based on the color information on the subject.

Do not use the smart ATW function in environments where the color temperature fluctuates.

In an outdoor environment for example, smart ATW may not produce desirable results because the color temperature fluctuates depending on the time of the day (at sunrise, daytime, and sunset), weather (sunny or cloudy), and other conditions.

1 In [MASKING], select “ON” and click SET .

The ATW masking screen appears.
