When the AUTO W/B BAL switch is pushed to the
WHT side, the white balance will be adjusted
automatically according to the position of the FILTER
control. The adjusted value will be stored in the
selected memory. Each memory can store up to five
adjusted values, for a total of 10. The number of
values that may be stored in each memory can be
limited to 1, using the MAINTENANCE menu. In this
case, the value stored in the memory will not
correspond to the FILTER switch setting.
