Detection area for the white balance The detection area for the white balance is selectable between "90%", "50%" and "25%", using the menu option AWB AREA. This option can be found in the screen on the CAM OPERATION page. The detection area is factory-set to "25%". 90% 50% 25% Retaining white balances Each value in memory is retained even if the unit is turned off; it will not be lost until the white balance is re-adjusted. White balances are stored in either of two systems: A or B. When the menu option FILTER INH is set to "ON" (default), each system stores only one value. If this is the case, the values are not synchronized with the filters. This option can be found in the screen on the CAM OPERATION page. When the menu option FILTER INH is set to "OFF", the adjusted value for each filter can be automatically stored in the memory that corresponds to the position of the WHITE BAL switch ([A] or [B]). Your unit has 4 built-in filters; it stores 8 (4 2) adjusted values. When you have no time to adjust the white balance Position the WHITE BAL switch at [PRST]. This adjusts the white balance for the filter according to the position of the CC/ND FILTER control. When the white balance has not been automatically adjusted When the white balance has not been successfully adjusted, the viewfinder displays an error message. If one of the error messages listed below appears, take the appropriate steps, then adjust the white balance again. If the error message appears after repeated readjustments, the interior of the unit must be inspected. For more information, contact your distributor.
