•  an automatic control (AWB)  

•  fixed setting of indoor (IND)

White balance can be adjusted in two different ways. It is 

possible to control it using the keyboard on the IVS or 

using the on-screen control menu.

•  By pressing the WB key Ï

be changed from AWB, IND, OTD to MAN. The 

corresponding LED is lit. The next click on the WB key

LED to be constantly on. Another click on the WB key 

Ï
