qs TURBO GAIN button

When shooting under extremely poor lighting conditions, press the button once to boost the video gain to the value preset with the menu (up

2 to 48dB, factory setting: 42dB). To stop boosting the gain, press the button once more or use the GAIN switch.

qd WHITE BAL (white balance memory) switch

This switch determines the source of white balance settings.

PRST (preset): Adjusts the color temperature corresponding to the position of the filter ring.

A or B: When the AUTO W/B BAL switch is pushed to WHT, the white balance is automatically adjusted according to the current position of the filter ring, and the adjusted value is stored in either memory A or memory B. (There are two memories for each filter, so a total of eight adjustments can be stored.) When the two-part FILTER selector is in the same position as at when the WHITE BAL switch was adjusted, the stored value is called from memory, and the camcorder automatically adjusts itself to that value.

B (ATW): When this switch is set to B whereas, in the setup menu OPERATION 1 page, B is set to ATW 1), the ATW is activated. You can use the AUTO W/B BAL switch even when the ATW is in use.

Note that if the display mode (see 4-8-3) is set to 3 when this switch is adjusted, the new setting will be indicated on the setting change/ adjustment progress message display area of the viewfinder screen for about 3 seconds (e.g. WHITE : A CH).
