White Balance White balance mode/setting Adjustment range Color temperature (K) Color compensation (CC) value ¼ (daylight) 4,300 K to 8,000 K É (tungsten lamp) 2,700 K to 3,700 K -5 to +5 67 È (color temperature) 2,000 K to 15,000 K -20 to +20 NOTES • You can use the > [v Camera Setup] > [C. Temp. Increment] setting to change the units for the color temperature increment to [Mired] (5-mired increments) or [Kelvin] (100-kelvin increments). Even when [Mired] is selected, the color temperature is converted to and displayed in kelvins. Changing this setting may change the white balance setting. • If you set an assignable button to [¼ Daylight], [É Tungsten] or [È Kelvin] (A 115), you can press the button to change the white balance mode temporarily. Press the button again to return to the previous white balance mode. Custom White Balance 1 Set the AWB switch to OFF and the WHITE BAL. switch to either A or B. • To apply the stored custom white balance setting as is, the rest of the procedure is not necessary. To set a new custom white balance, continue the procedure. 2 Point the camera at a gray card or white object so that it fills the center of screen. • Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when recording. 3 Press the Å button. • The Å A or Å B icon will flash quickly. • Make sure the gray card or white object fills the center of the screen until the procedure is completed. • Once the icon stops flashing, the procedure is completed. The setting is retained even if you turn off the camera. NOTES • Readjust the custom white balance if the light source or ND filter setting changes. • Very rarely and depending on the light source, Å may keep flashing (it will change to a slow flashing). In that case, change the subject brightness and adjust the custom white balance again. • After the camera registers a custom white balance, the color temperature or CC value may appear in gray. This indicates that the value registered exceeds the range of values that can be displayed but the white balance is correctly calibrated and you can continue shooting.
