OUTPUT/DCC selector

ql WHITE BAL (white balance memory) switch

This switch determines the source of the white balance settings. PRST (preset): Adjusts the color temperature corresponding to the

position of the FILTER selector (outer knob). Use the PRST setting when you have no time to adjust the white balance.

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 selector (outer knob), and the adjusted value is stored in either memory A or memory B. (There are two memories for each

CCfilter, so a total of eight adjustments can be stored.) When the FILTER selector (outer knob) is at the same position as it was when this WHITE BAL switch was adjusted, the stored value is called from memory, and the camcorder automatically adjusts itself to that value.

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.
