■ AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE
CONTROL (AWC)
There are two white balance memories, “AWC A” or
“AWC B” for two different light sources color tempera-
tures, with the automatic white balance setting. Then,
when the two different light sources are encountered,
you may operate the camera properly by simply
change the white balance mode to either AWC A or
AWC B. There is no need to readjust the camera to the
ambient conditions.
* The preset conditions will be renewed whenever
you input new conditions.
1. Turn the white balance selection switch to either
“AWC A” or “AWC B” of RCU or select the white
balance mode either AWC A or AWC B by menu.
2. Aim the camera at a white object (a white wall or a
white handkerchief) and zoom in to enlarge the
image as much as possible.
[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
3. In normal shooting mode:
Press the ITEM/AWC switch for over 2 second.
[ADJUSTMENT with the RCU (RCB, Hybrid control
panel)]
4. When the AUTO set switch is turned to AWC, the
white balance will be automatically set. While the
system is being set, auto warning indicator (LED)
blinks and it goes out when the white balance set-
ting is completed. If the lamp remains lit, the set-
ting must be tried again.
