If any of the above error messages is displayed,
retry the white balance adjustment. If the error
message occurs again, an internal check is
necessary.
For information about this internal check, refer to
the Maintenance Manual.
White balance memory
Values stored in memory are held until the white
balance is next adjusted.
There are two sets of white balance memories, A
and B, and adjustments for each of the CC filters
can be automatically stored in the memory
corresponding to the setting (A or B) of the
WHITE BAL switch. The camcorder has four
built-in CC filters, so a total of eight (4 × 2)
adjustments can be stored. The number of
memories allocated to each of A and B can be
limited to one by setting the FILTER WHT MEM
item to OFF on the WHITE SETTING page of the
OPERATION menu. In this case, the memory
contents are not linked to the CC filter settings.
If the WHITE BAL switch is set to B, and on the
WHITE SETTING page of the OPERATION
menu, the WHITE SWITCH <B> item is set to
ATW, the ATW function is activated to
automatically adjust the white balance of the
picture being shot for varying lighting conditions.
The shutter modes that can be used with the
electronic shutter and the shutter speeds that can
be selected are listed below.
Standard mode:
For shooting fast-moving objects with little
blurring.
ECS (Extended Clear Scan) mode:
For obtaining images with no horizontal bands of
noise when shooting subjects such as monitor
screens.
SLS (Slow Speed Shutter) mode:
Select this mode for shooting subjects in low level
lighting conditions.
