!™ TURBO GAIN button
When shooting under extremely poor lighting conditions, slide the cover
of this button to the left and press the button once to boost the video gain
to the value preset with the menu (factory setting: 36 dB). To stop
boosting the gain, press the button once more or use the GAIN switch.
When the RM-P9 Remote Control Unit is connected to the camcorder,
you cannot use this button.
!£ WHITE BAL (white balance memory) switch
This switch determines the source of white balance settings.
PRST (preset): Adjusts the color temperature corresponding to the
position of the filter ring. Use the PRST setting when you have no
time to adjust the white balance.
A or B: When the AUTO W/B BAL switch is pushed to WHT, the white
balance is automatically adjusted according to the current position of
the filter ring, and the adjusted value is stored in either memory A or
memory B. (There are two memories for each filter, so a total of eight
adjustments can be stored.) When the two-part FILTER selector is in
the same position as at when the WHITE BAL switch was adjusted,
the stored value is called from memory, and the camcorder
automatically adjusts itself to that value.
B (ATW): When this switch is set to B whereas, in the setup menu
OPERATION MODE page, B CH is set to ATW
1)
, the ATW is
activated.
You can use the AUTO W/B BAL switch even when the ATW is in use.
Note that if the display mode is set to 3 when this switch is adjusted, the
new setting will be indicated on the setting change/adjustment progress
message display area of the viewfinder screen for about 3 seconds (e.g.
WHITE = A CH).
