7. White balance setting [WHITE BAL]
The white balance adjustment is selectable from the following.
ATW1 (default): Activates the automatic color temperature tracking mode. The camera contin-
uously measures the color temperature of the light source and automatically adjusts the
white balance. Manual fine adjustment is also enabled after automatic white balance set-
ting. ( page 36)
The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2 700 K to 6 000 K. If the sit-
uation meets one of the following or other, color may not be accurately reproduced.
• The photographic subject is mostly highly-colored.
• The photographic atmosphere is under the bright blue sky or at nightfall.
• The illumination of the light illuminating the photographic subject is low.
ATW2: Activates the sodium lamp automatic color temperature tracking mode. The camera
automatically achieves an optimal white balance under the sodium lamp.
The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2 000 K to 6 000 K.
AWC: Activates the automatic white balance control mode. This adjustment is suitable for a
location where a light source is stable. The adjustment of the color temperature ranges
from approx. 2 000 K to 10 000 K. When "AWC" is selected, the operation to adjust the
white balance is required.
When "AWC" is selected, follow the steps below to adjust the white balance.
