Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording If you have no time to adjust the white balance Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance is automatically set as follows, depending on the FILTER selector setting. A: 5600K B: 3200K C: 4300K D: 6300K For details about setting the white balance automatically, see "Adjusting the white balance automatically" on page 60. White balance memory Values stored in memory are held until the white balance is adjusted again. There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B, and adjustments for each of the filters can be automatically stored in the memory corresponding to the setting (A or B) of the WHITE BAL switch. The camcorder has four builtin filters, so a total of eight (4 × 2) adjustments can be stored. The number of memories allocated to each of A and B can be limited to one without linking to the filter setting by setting WHT FILTER INH (page 159) to ON on the FUNCTION 3 page of the MAINTENANCE menu. In this case, adjustments for each of A and B are stored separately from the value when WHT FILTER INH (page 159) is set to OFF. If the WHITE BAL switch is set to B, and on the FUNCTION 2 page of the OPERATION menu, the WHITE SWITCH item is set to ATW, the ATW (Auto Tracing White) function is activated to automatically adjust the white balance of the picture being shot for varying lighting conditions. 4-2 Setting the Electronic Shutter This section describes the shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter of the camcorder, and describes the procedure for selecting the shutter speed and shutter mode. 4-2-1 Shutter Modes The shutter modes that can be used with the electronic shutter and the shutter speeds that can be selected are shown below.

Adjustments and Settings for Recording

If you have no time to adjust the white

balance

Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST.

The white balance is automatically set as follows,

depending on the FILTER selector setting.

A: 5600K

B: 3200K

C: 4300K

D: 6300K

For details about setting the white balance automatically,

see “Adjusting the white balance automatically” on page

60.

White balance memory

Values stored in memory are held until the white balance is

adjusted again.

There are two sets of white balance memories, A and B,

and adjustments for each of the filters can be automatically

stored in the memory corresponding to the setting (A or B)

of the WHITE BAL switch. The camcorder has four built-

in filters, so a total of eight (4 × 2) adjustments can be

stored.

The number of memories allocated to each of A and B can

be limited to one without linking to the filter setting by

setting WHT FILTER INH

(page 159)

to ON on the

FUNCTION 3 page of the MAINTENANCE menu. In this

case, adjustments for each of A and B are stored separately

from the value when WHT FILTER INH

(page 159)

is set

to OFF.

If the WHITE BAL switch is set to B, and on the

FUNCTION 2 page of the OPERATION menu, the

WHITE SWITCH <B> item is set to ATW, the ATW (Auto

Tracing White) function is activated to automatically

adjust the white balance of the picture being shot for

varying lighting conditions.
