qg GAIN selector
This selector switches the gain of the video amplifier to match the
lighting conditions during shooting. The gains corresponding to the L,
M, and H settings are selected from the setup menu before use. The
factory settings are L = 0 dB, M = 9 dB, and H = 18 dB.
Note that if the display mode (see 4-8-3) is set to 3 when this selector 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. GAIN: 12 dB).
For information about setting the gain values, see Section 4-9-1 “Setting the GAIN
Selector Values” (page 4-77).
qh AUTO W/B BAL (automatic white/black balance adjustment)
switch
This switch activates the adjustment functions of the white balance and
black balance.

switch is set to A or B, the white balance setting is stored in the
corresponding memory. When the ATW setting is selected in the
setup menu, the white balance setting adjusted with this switch is not
stored in memory. The Auto White balance is deactivated while the
WHITE BAL switch is set to PRST.
BLK: Automatic adjustment of the black set and the black balance. The
setting is stored in a separate memory.

selector 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.:SS: 1/250 or :CLS: 60.6 Hz).
