Detection area for the white balance
The detection area for the white balance is selectable
between 90%, 50% and 25%, using the menu option AWB
AREA.
This option can be found in the <WHITE BALANCE
MODE> screen, which is accessible from the CAM
OPERATION page.
The detection area is factory-set to 25%.
When you have no time to adjust the white
balance
Position the WHITE BAL switch at [PRST].
This adjusts the white balance for the filter according to the
position of the CC/ND FILTER control.
When the white balance has not been
automatically adjusted
When the white balance has not been successfully
adjusted, the viewfinder displays an error message.
If one of the error messages listed below appears, take the
appropriate steps, then adjust the white balance again.
If the error message
readjustments, the interior of the unit must be inspected.
For more information, contact your distributor.

Retaining white balances
Each value in memory is retained even if the camera-
recorder is turned off; it will not be lost until the white
balance is re-adjusted. White balances are stored in either
of two systems: A or B.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to "ON" (default),
each system stores only one value. If this is the case, the
values are not synchronised with the filters.
This option can be found in the <WHITE BALANCE
MODE> screen, which is accessible from the CAM
OPERATION page.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to "OFF", the
adjusted value for each filter can be automatically stored in
the memory that corresponds to the position of the WHITE
BAL switch (A or B). Your unit has four built-in filters; it
stores eight (4 a 2) adjusted values.
When the S. GAIN (super gain) function is activated, the
AWB switch does not function and the value set for PRST
is used.
