White balance adjustment
This adjustment may be skipped when the white balance selector switch is used at the ATW position (automatic
tracking wide balance mode) or PRST position (for shooting under a predetermined light source).
1
Set the POWER switch to ON.
2
Set the white balance selector switch to MEMO.
3
Place a sheet of white paper, handkerchief or something similar in
conditions identical to those of the light sources which will be used
to illuminate the subject, and zoom in on the subject so that the
screen is filled with the white paper or handkerchief.
O
Something white (such as a piece of white fabric or white wall) near the
subject may serve instead, but it should be borne in mind that what you
thought was white may in fact be slightly coloured.
O
Be careful not to open the lens iris too far when adjusting the white
balance. Attempting to adjust the white balance with the iris open too
far will cause the warning “TOO BRIGHT” to be displayed and
processing to stop. Note that the “TOO BRIGHT” warning is especially
prone to appear when the entire screen is filled with something white,
such as a piece of paper.
(Generally speaking, selecting the AUTO IRIS mode to control the lens
iris setting will ensure that it is automatically adjusted to the appropriate
setting for the lighting level.)
