Recording
Execute auto white-balance adjustment according
to the color temperature of the light source.
The adjustment value can be stored in memory A
or B.
Note
Auto white-balance adjustment cannot be
executed in Preset mode.
1 To store the adjustment value in
memory, select Memory A or Memory
B mode.
2 Select the appropriate ND filter
according to the lighting condition.
3 Place a white subject under the same
lighting condition and zoom in on it so
that a white area is obtained on the
screen.
A white object (white cloth, a white wall,
etc.) near the subject may be used in place.
Be careful not to have any spots of high
illumination on the screen.
4 Adjust the lens iris opening.
Set it to the proper condition if the manual
iris adjustment mode is selected.
5 Press the WHT BAL button.
Auto white-balance adjustment begins.
During adjustment, an in-progress message is
displayed on the screen. When the adjustment is
completed successfully, the message changes to a
completion message, and the obtained color
temperature is displayed.
• When you execute the adjustment in a memory
mode, the adjusted value is stored in memory
(A or B) selected in step 1.
• When you execute the adjustment in ATW
mode, adjustment in ATW is resumed.
If auto white-balance adjustment fails
An error message is displayed on the screen for
approximately three seconds.
If the error message is displayed, try auto white-
balance adjustment again.
If the error message continues to be displayed
after several attempts, consult your Sony service
representative.
