Adjustments and Settings for Recording : Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance
The detection area for the white balance is selectable
between 90%, 50% and 25%, using the menu option AWB
AREA.
The detection area is factory-set to 25%.
The menu item AWB AREA is found in the <WHITE
BALANCE MODE> screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
Position the WHITE BAL switch at [PRST].
This adjusts the white balance for the filter according to the
position of the CC/ND FILTER control.
When the white balance has not been successfully adjusted,
the viewfinder displays an error message.
If one of the error messages listed below appears, take the
appropriate steps, then adjust the white balance again.
If the error message appears after repeated readjustments,
the interior of the unit must be inspected. For more
information, contact your distributor.
Each value in memory is retained even if the camera-
recorder is turned off; it will not be lost until the white
balance is re-adjusted. White balances are stored in either of
two systems: A or B.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “ON” (default),
each system stores only one value. If this is the case, the
values are not synchronised with the filters.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “OFF”, the
adjusted value for each filter can be automatically stored in
the memory that corresponds to the position of the WHITE
BAL switch (A or B). Your unit has four built-in filters; it stores
eight (4 a 2) adjusted values.
The menu item FILTER INH is found in the <WHITE
BALANCE MODE> screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
Also, when the S. GAIN (super gain) function is operating,
the AWB switch doesn’t operate, and the message (AWB
UNABLE/S.GAIN MODE) is displayed.
This unit is equipped with an auto tracking white balance
(ATW) function that automatically tracks the white balance of
images according to the lighting conditions.
You can set this ATW function to the [B] of the WHITE BAL
switch. With the AWB B menu option, select “ATW”.
You can select the AWB B menu option from the <WHITE
BALANCE MODE> screen of the CAM OPERATION page.
You can also assign the ATW function to the USER MAIN/
USER1/USER2 buttons.
>[Assigning Functions to USER Buttons] (page 55)
Press the USER button assigned to ATW again, or change
the WHITE BAL switch. However, when ATW has been set
to the [B] of the WHITE BAL switch, it cannot be cancelled
with the USER button.
Note
This function does not provide a 100 % accurate white balance.
The tracking performance relative to changes in ambient
lighting and white balance performance have been given a
degree of latitude.
