the filter is achieved in accordance with the setting position
of the FILTER control (outer).

When the white balance adjustment was not completed
correctly, one of the following error messages will appear on
the viewfinder screen. When an error message is displayed,
take the recommended action, and try adjusting the white
balance again. If the error message persists even after

White balance memories
The values stored in the memories are retained even after
the unit's power has been turned off until the white balance is
next adjusted. There are two sets of white balance
memories, A and B.
When ON has been selected (initial setting) as the setting for
the FILTER INH item on the <WHITE BALANCE MODE>
screen opened from the OPERATION page by performing
menu operations, the number of memories is limited to one
in A and one in B. In this case, the memory contents are not
coupled with the CC filter.
When FILTER INH is set to OFF, the adjustment values for
each CC filter can be automatically saved in the memories
corresponding to the WHITE BAL switch settings (A or B).
This unit contains four filters so that a total of 8 (4a2)
adjustment values are saved.
When the S. GAIN function operates, the AWB switch is not
activated and is the PRST value of the WHITE BAL switch.
