9.4. ATW/AWB Selection Switch:
Sets the white balance operation.
ATW: Normally set to this position. Automatically adjusts the camera white balance when the
subject's color temperature changes.
AWB: Set the switch to AWB when a single-color subject occupies most of the screen and the
difference between the on-screen color and the actual color is annoying, or when the
subject's fluctuating color temperature causes annoying changes in color balance. Setting
the switch to AWB allows the subject to be displayed in the set white balance, even if the
subject's color temperature changes.
Note
Set the switch to AWB when a single-color subject occupies most of the screen and the
difference between the on-screen color and the actual color is annoying, or when the
subject's fluctuating color temperature causes annoying changes in color balance. Setting
the switch to AWB allows the subject to be displayed in the set white balance, even if the
subject's color temperature changes.
9.5. High-Sensitivity Switch:
Set for automatic increases in sensitivity in dark conditions.
ON:
Normally set to this position. High-sensitivity function (slow-speed shutter) increases the
sensitivity up to eightfold in dark conditions.
OFF: When after-image blurs of fast moving subjects in dark conditions create an annoyance,
set the switch to the OFF position. Also set the switch to OFF when night mode over-
exposure of the subject is annoying.
Note
Since the high-sensitivity function is operated by extending the light exposure time during
which the electrical charge is stored in the image pickup device, after-image blurs may be
produced by quickly moving.
9.6. Average/Peak Selection Switch:
Set this switch when night mode subject over-exposure is annoying.
Average:
Normally set to this position.
Peak: When in night mode, the camera's infrared light could make the over-exposure of nearby
subjects annoying. In such cases, set the Average/Peak Selection switch to the Peak
position to lighten the over-exposure condition.
