Adjust the lens iris opening or set the
shutter to ON.

opening to an appropriate value.
With a lens that has automatic iris control:
Set the lens automatic/manual iris
control switch to automatic.
Or, set the video level to an appropriate
value, using the shutter setting.

Perform automatic white balance
adjustment.
The message "AWB: EXECUTING"
appears on the viewfinder screen. If the
adjustment process succeeds, the message
"AWB: OK" appears.
If automatic white balance adjustment fails
If the automatic white balance adjustment process
fails, the error message "AWB: NG" appears on
the viewfinder screen for about three seconds.
If this error message appears, try adjusting the
white balance again.
If the subject has a higher color temperature, use
an optical filter or set 5600K to ON, then try
white balance adjustment again.
If the error message continues to appear after
several attempts, the unit requires internal
inspection.
Note
When you execute the automatic white balance
adjustment function on a system where the Select FPS
function (see page 107) is enabled, set the FPS value
(number of frames to shoot) to a value greater than
the maximum setting value. If the FPS value is set to a
1
value lower than / of the maximum setting value, the
2
error message "AWB: LOW FPS" appears and the
automatic adjustment is not performed.
Example: The maximum FPS value for shooting at
S23.98PsF is 24. In this case, set the FPS value to
13 or higher. The maximum FPS value for shooting
at S59.94PsF is 50. In this case, however, set the
FPS value to 31 or higher.
