White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting
of the object is too weak.
w p
Since the unit has a built-in memory, the set white
balance will remain in the memory even if power
is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset
the white balance if the colour temperature of those
objects remains unchanged. However, it must be reset
if the colour temperature changes, such as when you
move from indoors to outside, or vice versa.

Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the
white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all
the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the
light source or colour temperature has changed to produce
completely natural pictures.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of
“AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic
adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 14).
w p
ATW might not function properly when high brightness
light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.
w p
White balance may not be accurately set if there is no
white object in the scene being shot.
w p
The white balance may shift out of adjustment when
a different kind of light source such as sunlight or
fluorescent lighting applies.
