(6) Synchronization (SYNC)
Important Notice:
The priority of sync mode is as follows.
1. Multiplexed Vertical Drive (VD2) (Highest)
2. Line-lock (LL)
3. Internal Sync (INT) (Lowest)
Note:
The automatic sync mode selection is made according to priority listed above. Refer to the
Synchronization Setting on page 14 for detailed procedures.
(7) White Balance (WHITE BAL)
A colour characteristic of illumination is called
colour temperature and it is measured in units
of Kelvin (°K).
The higher colour temperatures are
considered bluish while the lower colour
temperatures are more reddish.
A camera shooting a scene with high colour
temperature illumination produces a bluish
picture. Likewise, it will produce a reddish
picture with lower colour temperature illumina-
tion. Therefore, in order for the camera to
reproduce a scene accurately, it needs to be
white balanced before shooting.

Selection of the white balance control mode,
either auto-tracing white balance (ATW) or
one-touch automatic white balance (AWC),
can be made through the use of this menu.
• Auto-Tracing White Balance Mode (ATW)
In the ATW mode the colour temperature of the illuminant is
continuously monitored and the white balance of the camera is
automatically set.
The ATW mode has a range of operation from approximately 2600°K
- 6000°K. Beyond this range, use the Automatic White Balance
(AWC) mode.
The ATW mode might not produce optimum colour rendition under
the following conditions.
1. When the scene consists mostly of strongly coloured objects or
illumination such as a blue sky or during sunset.
2. When the scene is dimly lit.
In these cases, use the AWC mode.
• Automatic White Balance Control Mode (AWC)
In this mode, accurate white balance may be obtained within a range
of operation from approximately 2300°K- 10000°K.
Note:
Refer to the White Balance Setting on page 16 for detailed
procedures.
