|Notes{
ÁThe white balance will not be adjusted while the setting menu is displayed on the viewfinder
screen.
The MENU SET/OFF switch must be set to the OFF position to make this adjustment.
ÁIn rare instances the white balance adjustment may not be possible and an NG display will
appear.
In a case like this, proceed with the white balance adjustment again.
When there is no Time to Adjust the White Balance
Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST.
The white balance for the filter is automatically adjusted according to the setting position of the
FILTER knob (outside).
White balance memories
The white balance memories fall into two categories, A and B.
The number of A and B memories is limited to 1 each when FILTER INH is set to ON (default
setting) on the "CAMERA SW MODE" SUB menu page of MAIN menu screen 2 of 4.
In this case, the contents of the memories are not linked to the filter.
However, when FILTER INH is set to OFF, the adjustments values for each filter can be automat-
ically stored in the memory corresponding to the WHITE BAL switch setting (A or B).
The unit contains three pairs of CC filters and cross filters. The same white balance data is stored
in the memory for the 3200K and cross filter settings. For this reason, a total of six (3q2) adjust-
ment values are stored in the white balance memory.
