To switch between electrical CC filters with an ASSIGN switch

You can assign the function that switches between electrical CC filters to an ASSIGN switch. This allows you to switch between color temperatures (3200K/4300K/5600K/6300K) that have been assigned to up to four positions (A to

D)with each press of the ASSIGN switch. Regardless of assignments to ASSIGN switches, you can also switch between the color

temperatures assigned to each position from a remote control unit. 1)

1 Display the WHITE FILTER page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

For details on menu operations, see “Basic menu operations” on page 163.

2 Select the position to which to assign a

CCfilter by selecting one of “ELECTRICAL CC<A>” to “ELECTRICAL CC <D>”, and then turn the MENU knob to select the desired color temperature.

As you turn the MENU knob, the color temperature changes as follows: 3200K y 4300K y 5600K y 6300K.

To set no color temperature

Select “-----” with ELECTRICAL CC<C> or <D> selected.

When the ASSIGN switch is pressed, the setting for that position is not displayed. For example, if “-----” is set for one position, then switching between the remaining three positions is carried out.

3 Repeat step 2 as required.

4 Assign the electrical CC filter switching function (ELECTRICAL CC) to an ASSIGN 1/3/4 switch, the COLOR TEMP button, or the RET button on the lens (see page 178).

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 ND 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 ND filters, so a total of eight (4 × 2) adjustments can be stored. However, the memory contents are not linked to the ND filter settings in the following cases.

•When the number of memories allocated to each of A and B is limited to one by setting the FILTER WHT MEM item on the WHITE SETTING page of the OPERATION menu to OFF.

•When the electrical CC filter switching function has been assigned to an ASSIGN switch, or when a remote control unit has been connected. (In these cases, the contents of white balance memory are linked to electrical CC filter positions (A to D).)
