CAUTION:
• Even when the VIDEO ADJUST FOR POSI screen’s W. BALANCE item is set to “ATW” or “MANUAL”,
the AWC adjustment on the AWC ADJUST screen is effective and the value resulting from the
AWC adjustment is stored in the camera body.
However, when the positions set by “ATW” or “MANUAL” are selected again, the image returns from
the setting determined by the value resulting from the AWC adjustment to the setting values of
“ATW” or “MANUAL”, respectively.
• AWC adjustment works separately for each position but only one adjustment value is stored, and
the value stored in the camera body is the value obtained when AWC adjustment was last performed.
