the white balance could not be adjusted.
 If color bars have been selected (the [MODE] button
or [BAR/CAM] button’s lamp lights) or if ATW is
selected (the [ATW] button’s lamp lights), it means
that the [AWC] button is not working or that the auto
white balance adjustment has failed. (The button’s
lamp lights.)
 White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting
of the object is too weak.
 Since the camera has a built-in memory, the set
white balance will remain in the memory even if
power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to
reset the white balance if the color temperature of
those objects remains unchanged. However, it must
be reset if the color temperature changes, such as
when you move from indoors to outside, or vice
versa.
 When the camera is used alone, red/blue gain
adjustment of painting setting will be automatically
reset to ±0 after setting the white balance. (painting
setting in only User Mode.)
Notes
 Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the
white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all
the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the
light source or color temperature has changed to produce
completely natural pictures.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of
“AWC A” or “AWC B” by following the steps for “Automatic
adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 31).
 ATW might not function properly when high
brightness light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a
screen.
 White balance may not be accurately set if there is
no white object in the scene being shot.
 The white balance may shift out of adjustment when
a different kind of light source such as sunlight or
fluorescent lighting applies.
Notes
 3200K and 5600K presets
When “300K” or “5600K” is selected for the white balance,
the white balance is set using a color temperature of 3,00K
(equivalent to halogen light) or 5,600K (equivalent to
daylight), respectively.
This function works when “300K” or “5600K” is selected
instead of “AWC A” or “AWC B” by following the steps for
“Automatic adjustment” in “White balance adjustment”
(page 31).
(From the controller, this operation can be performed only
using the menu displays. Refer to “Basic menu operations”
(page 40).)
