This section describes the shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter of the camcorder, and describes the procedure for selecting the shutter speed and shutter mode.
Recording for Settings and Adjustments 4 Chapter
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 builtin filters, so a total of eight (4 × 2) adjustments can be stored. The number of memories allocated to each of A and B can be limited to one by setting the WHT FILTER INH. item to “ON” on the FUNCTION 3 page of the MAINTENANCE menu. In this case, the memory contents are not linked to the filter settings.
If the WHITE BAL switch is set to B, and on the FUNCTION 2 page of the OPERATION menu, the WHITE SWITCH <B> item is set to “ATW,” the ATW (Auto Tracing White) function is activated to automatically adjust the white balance of the picture being shot for varying lighting conditions.
The shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter and the shutter speeds that can be selected are shown below.
