4-10 Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording
4
If you have no time to adjust the white balance
Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance is
automatically set to 3200 K when the FILTER selector is in position 1,
and to 5600 K in other positions.
White balance memory
Values stored in memory are held until the white balance is next
adjusted.
There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B, and adjustments
for each of the filters can be automatically stored in the memory
corresponding to the setting (A or B) of the WHITE BAL switch. The
camcorder has four built-in filters, so a total of eight (4 × 2) adjustments
can be stored. The number of memories allocated each A and B can be
limited to one each by setting FILTER INH. to ON on the FUNCTION
2/2 page of the setup menu. In this case, the memory contents are not
linked to the filters.
When the WHITE BAL switch is set to B whereas, in the setup menu
OPERATION MODE page, “B CH” is set to ATW, the ATW function is
activated to automatically adjust the white balance of the picture being
shot for varying lighting conditions.
If a memory error occurs
If the error message “: STORED DATA : NG” flashes on the viewfinder
screen when the camcorder is turned on, the white balance memory
content has been lost.
Adjust the black balance and the white balance again. Contact your Sony
representative if this message continues to appear even after the black
balance and the white balance have been adjusted again.
