During adjustment

The message “AWB EXECUTING” is displayed on the viewfinder screen. When the adjustment process is completed successfully, the message “AWB: OK” is displayed.

When automatic white balance adjustment fails

If the automatic white balance adjustment process does not end successfully, the error message “AWB: NG” will be displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three seconds.

If this error message is displayed, try white balance adjustment again.

If the subject has a higher color temperature, use an optical filter or set 5600K to ON, then try white balance adjustment again.

If the error message continues to be displayed after several attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.

Note

If the automatic white balance adjustment is performed on a system where the Select FPS function (see page 55) is available, set a value that is greater than half the maximum FPS value as the FPS value. If you do not, the error message “AWB: LOW FPS” will be displayed, and automatic white balance adjustment will not be available. Example: With S23.98PsF, as the maximum FPS value is

24 FPS, set it to 13 FPS or greater before the automatic white balance adjustment is to be performed. Although the maximum FPS value is 50 FPS with S59.94PsF, set it to 31 FPS or greater.
