Error Message
If the auto white balance adjustment is not correctly
completed, one of the following messages will appear for
about 3 seconds.
Using the Full Auto White Balance (FAW)
Function
The FAW function adjusts the white balance value
automatically as the lighting condition changes.
This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the
white balance or when the camera recorder is moved
frequently in and out of places with different lighting
conditions.
1
Set to the Manual shooting mode.
2 Set using [Camera Function] menu [Switch
Set]B[FAW]. (A Page 66)
You can assign FAW (Full Auto White balance) to any of the
three positions on the [WHT.BAL] switch ([A], [B],
[PRST(PRESET)]).
3 Set the [WHT.BAL] switch to the position that is
assigned the FAW function.
Memo :
Set the camera recorder to the Full Auto shooting mode to
activate the FAW mode. White balance is automatically
adjusted according to the color temperature of the lighting
on the object.
When Program AE is set to
A
Twilight
B
, the white balance is
automatically set to 5600K.
In these cases, white balance switching with the [WHT.BAL]
selection switch is disabled.
Note :
The FAW function cannot provide optimum white balance
with a subject outside the FAW adjustment range, for
example when it contains only a single color or not enough
white color.
The accuracy of FAW is inferior to that of Auto White
Balance.
When the power of the camera recorder is turned on with
the FAW mode selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the
FAW adjustment to complete. Do not start recording
during this interval.

[Camera Process] menu and adjust. (A Page 68)
[White Paint R] : Adjusts the red component.
[White Paint B] : Adjusts the blue component.
Memo :
Readjusting AWB (Auto White Balance) resets the
respective colors (R and B) to their default settings.

switch is set to APRST(PRESET)B.
