The camcorder has two white balance memories,
A and B. You can automatically save adjustment
values for each ND filter in the memory that
corresponds to the WHITE BAL switch setting
(A or B). The camcorder has four built-in ND
filters, allowing you to save a total of eight
adjustment values (4 × 2). However, the contents
of the memories are not linked to ND filter
settings in the following cases.
• When the number of memories allocated to
each of A and B is limited to one by setting
"OPERATION" > "White Setting" > "Filter
White Memory" in the setup menu to "Off."
• When the electrical CC filter switching function
has been assigned to an assignable switch, or
when a remote control unit has been connected.
(In these cases, the contents of white balance
memory are linked to electrical CC filter
positions (A to D).)
Also, when "OPERATION" > "White Setting" >
"White Switch<B>" in the setup menu is set to
"ATW (Auto Tracing White Balance)," and the
WHITE BAL switch is set to B, the ATW
function is activated to automatically adjust the
white balance of the picture being shot for
varying lighting conditions.
Note
While the ATW function is activated, the color
temperature of the subject may differ from the color
temperature that is displayed on the viewfinder screen.
