Full-time Auto White (FAW) Function
Automatic adjustment of white balance according to different illumination conditions.
This mode is useful when there is no time to readjust white balance or when camera is frequently moved
to locations with different illumination conditions.
● However, white balance cannot be properly achieved in cases that are beyond the adjustable range
of the full-time auto white function, such as when there is only one colour or little white colour in the
object.
● Precision of FAW deteriorates when compared with auto white balance.
● When power is turned on in the FAW mode, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW automatic adjust-
ment to end.
Error Display
When auto white adjustment is not correctly ended, the following
message will be displayed for about 3 seconds.
● "NG : OBJECT" (Object Error)
Displayed when there is little white colour in the object or when
colour temperature is not appropriate.
Change to a white object and perform procedures again to
achieve white balance.
● "ERROR : LOW LIGHT" (Insufficient Illumination)
Displayed when the illumination is too dark. Open the lens ap-
erture or brighten the illumination and perform procedures again
to achieve white balance.
● "ERROR : OVER LIGHT" (Excessive Illumination)
Displayed when the illumination is too bright. Close the lens
aperture or darken the illumination and perform procedures
again to achieve white balance.
Caution
● When this unit is set as below, auto white cannot be activated.
• When the "SHUTTER" item under "EXPOSURE" screen is
set to "SLOW".
• When the "MODE" item under "CAPTURE" screen is set to
"RANDOM TRG".
• When auto white shading is being activated.
● If white balance is to be adjusted when processing frozen im-
age, return to the normal screen before activating auto white.
