Memory A mode, Memory B mode
The white balance is adjusted to the value stored
in memory A or memory B.
Pressing the WB SET button
A executes auto
white balance and stores the adjusted value in
memory A or memory B.
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” in “White”
(page 67) of the
Paint menu.
When the ATW Hold function is assigned to an
assignable button
(page 36) , you can
momentarily hold the ATW value to fix the white
balance, even in ATW mode, by pressing the
button.
Notes
• Under some conditions of lighting or the shooting
subject, adjustment by ATW may fail to provide
proper colors.
Examples:
—When the subject that occupies most of the frame
is mostly one color, like the sky, sea, ground,
grass, or certain kinds of flowers.
—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, execute the Auto
White Balance function.
Using the switch
Make a selection with the WHT BAL switch B .
B: ATW mode or Memory B mode
A: Memory A mode
PRESET: Preset mode
The B position of the WHT BAL switch is
assigned to ATW mode at the factory. The setting
can be changed with “White Switch<B>” in
“White”
(page 67) of the Paint menu to select
Memory B mode.
Setting the camcorder to Full Auto mode
(page 27) forcibly activates ATW mode.
Assigning the ATW on/off function to an
assignable button
(page 36) permits you to
independently activate/deactivate ATW when
Full Auto mode is off.
