10.7.3. ATW Operation Range
ATW sets an operation frame that follows the black body radiation curve.
The operation color temperature range (R-B axis direction) for the standard operation frame is from
approximately 2500 K to approximately 9500 K.
The operation color temperature ranges for each operation frame are as shown in the table below.
The frame is selected by operation frame parameter described. In addition three kinds of operation frame can
be set up, and ON/OFF is possible respectively. Please refer to the ”Table 10.7-9 Operation frame setting
parameters” about the parameter.

ON/OFF setting for ATW operation frame type 2.
0[h] : ON
1[h] : Cancel
ATWFRM3OF(CAT15_Byte3_bit3)
ON/OFF setting for ATW operation frame type 3.
0[h] : ON
1[h] : Cancel
ATWLARGFRM(CAT15_Byte3_bit4)

0[h] : OFF
1[h] : ON
During push mode, this frame is canceled. In addition, the frame is also canceled during ATW operation if
ATWFRAMOF is set to 1[h].
When the frame is canceled, convergence operation is performed for any subject. However, push and white
balance may differ for some subjects. This is due to a difference in the algorithms for ATW and push.
Note that the convergence accuracy during ATW and push modes is approximately 4% with respect to the size
of the burst flag.
