Note
| If the camera has a zoom lens with an automatic iris, the iris may hunt1) |
| during the adjustment. To prevent this, adjust the iris gain knob (marked |
| with IG, IS, or S) on the lens. |
| For more information, refer to the lens operation manual. |
| If the automatic white balance adjustment cannot be |
| made |
4 | If the white balance adjustment cannot be completed normally, the error |
message “ AWB:NG” will appear for about 3 seconds on the viewfinder |
screen.
If this error message is displayed, retry the white balance adjustment. If the error message occurs again, an internal check is necessary.
Refer to the Maintenance Manual for information about this internal check.
If you have no time to adjust the white balance
Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white level is reset to the value saved in the reference file (factory setting: 3200K). The white balance is automatically set according to the FILTER selector (outer knob) position.
White balance memory
Values stored in memory are retained even when the camcorder power is turned off.
