 White balance adjustment
 White balance adjustment
In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio 
between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the 
white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the 
white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire 
screen will also be degraded.
 This adjustment must be performed when using the 
unit for the first time or when the unit has not been 
used for a prolonged period.
 It must be performed when the lighting conditions or 
brightness has changed.
Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which 
initiates automatic adjustment when the AWB button on the 
controller has been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking 
white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the white 
balance can be selected for adjustment purposes.
The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two 
memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been 
selected for the white balance.
 Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their 
setup procedure will be completed simply by selecting 
them using the camera menus or web settings, or by 
pressing the buttons on the controller, provided that they 
are going to be used under the same conditions as the 
ones established when the values were set.
There is no need to set it again.
 Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be 
erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to 
different shooting conditions.
   Automatic adjustment

Shoot a white subject (such as a white wall or
