You can allocate the ATW feature to one of the
positions on the WHITE BAL switch (A, B, or
PRST). Allocate it by going to the setup menus, SW
MODE screen, ATW. (Page 70)

the time of shipping.
(Page 30)
If you use the ATW feature whenever you are
shooting, the camera automatically adjusts the
white balance as you shoot.
The ATW feature automatically determines the
current shooting environment and adjusts the
white balance accordingly. Depending on the
environment, there may be some error in the
adjustment.
Use the procedure described on the proceeding
page whenever you need more precise white
balance.
Do not block the white balance sensor when
using the ATW feature. ATW will not work if you
do.
