When performing operations from a controller
When using an AW‑RP150
Refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
<NOTE>
• White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting of the object is
too weak.
• Since the unit has a built-in memory, the set white balance will
remain in the memory even if power is turned off. Therefore, it is
not necessary to reset the white balance if the color temperature of
those objects remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if the
color temperature changes, such as when you move from indoors to
outside, or vice versa.

Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)

When the white balance adjustment is set to [ATW], the white
balance continues to be adjusted automatically all the time, and it is
automatically corrected even when the light source or color temperature
has changed to produce completely natural pictures.
This function works when [ATW] is selected instead of [AWB A] or [AWB
B] by following the steps for "Automatic adjustment" in "White balance
adjustment" (→ page 36).
<NOTE>
• ATW might not function properly when high brightness light (ex.
fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.
• White balance may not be accurately set if there is no white object in
the scene being shot.
• The white balance may shift out of adjustment when different kinds of
light sources such as sunlight and fluorescent lighting are applied.

3200K and 5600K presets

When [3200K] or [5600K] is selected for the white balance, the white
balance is set using a color temperature of 3200 K (equivalent to
halogen light) or 5600 K (equivalent to daylight), respectively.
This function works when [3200K] or [5600K] is selected instead of
[AWB A] or [AWB B] by following the steps for "Automatic adjustment" in
"White balance adjustment" (→ page 36).

VAR

When [VAR] is selected for the white balance, you can select a color
temperature between 2000K and 15000K.
<NOTE>
• The displayed [VAR] value does not guarantee an absolute value. Use
the value as a reference.
