White balance memory

Values stored in memory are held until the white balance is next adjusted.

There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B, and adjustments for each of the filters can be automatically stored in the memory corresponding to the setting (A or B) of the WHITE BAL switch. The camcorder has four built-in filters, so a total of eight (4 ⋅ 2) adjustments can be stored. The number of memories allocated each A and B can be limited to one each by setting FILTER INH. to ON on the FUNCTION 2/2 page of the setup menu. In this case, the memory contents are not linked to the filters.

When the WHITE BAL switch is set to B whereas, in the setup menu OPERATION 1 page, “WHITE B” is set to ATW, the ATW function is activated to automatically adjust the white balance of the picture being shot for varying lighting conditions.
