under stable conditions.
White balance memory
Values stored to memory are saved until white balance is adjusted again even if the camera is turned off. There are two white balance memories, A and
B.
When set [ON] in the main menu
→ [CAMERA] → [WHITE BALANCE MODE] → [FILTER INH] (initial setting), memory on each of <A> and <B> is
limited to one, respectively. In this case, content in memory is not interlocked with the filter.
When [FILTER INH] is set to [OFF], the adjustment values of each filter can be automatically stored to memory corresponding to the <WHITE BAL>
switch setting (<A> or <B>).
The camera has four built-in filters so a total of eight (4
× 2) adjustment values can be stored to memory.
When the super gain function is enabled, the <AUTO W/B BAL> switch does not function and the message ([AWB UNABLE/S.GAIN MODE]) is
displayed.

Setting the auto tracking white balance (ATW) function
The camera is equipped with the Auto Tracking White Balance (ATW) function that automatically tracks the white balance of images according to the
lighting conditions.
The auto tracking white balance function can be assigned to <B> of the <WHITE BAL> switch. Select [ATW] in the main menu
→ [CAMERA] → [WHITE
BALANCE MODE] → [AWB B].
The auto tracking white balance function can be assigned to the <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>).
For details, refer to “Assigning functions to <USER> buttons” (page 67).
