White balance memories
The white balance has two memory systems: A and B.
Adjustment values for each filter can automatically be stored in the memory corresponding to the
setting (A or B) of the WHITE BAL switch. The unit contains 4 filters, making a total of 8 (4X2)
adjustment values which can be stored.
If FILTER INH on the FUNCTION 2/5 page of the setting menu is set to ON, the A and B systems
can be limited to one memory each.
In this case, the memory contents are not linked to the filters.
