Preset mode
The color temperature is adjusted to the preset
value (factory setting: 3200K) in this mode.
Select this mode when there is no time to adjust
the white balance or when you wish to fix the
white balance to the condition of you set for a
Picture Profile.
Memory A mode, Memory B mode
The white balance is adjusted to the value stored
in memory A or memory B.
Pressing the WHITE BAL button executes auto
white balance and stores the adjusted value in
memory A or memory B.
When the Wi-Fi remote commander is used and
the ATW function is set to off, the adjusted value
is changed to the one in memory A, irrespective

ATW (Auto-Tracing White balance) mode
In this mode, the camcorder automatically adjusts
the white balance to the appropriate condition.
When the color temperature of the light source
changes, the white balance adjustment is
automatically executed.
Five steps of adjustment speed can be selected
with “ATW Speed”
of the CAMERA
SET menu.
When the ATW Hold function is assigned to an
assignable button
, you can
momentarily hold the ATW value to fix the white
balance, even in ATW mode, by pressing the
button.
Note
Under some conditions of lighting or the shooting
subject, adjustment by ATW may fail to provide proper
colors.
Examples:
• When the subject of a substantially single color like
sky, sea, ground, grass, or certain kinds of flowers
occupies most of the frame area.
• When the subject is under a light source of extremely
high or extremely low color temperature.
If execution of automatic tracing by the ATW function
takes an unacceptably long time or only results in an
inadequate effect, then execute the AWB function.
