White balance adjustment

wWhite 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.
w
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.
w
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.
w
p Once the white balance has been adjusted when the 
unit is used with the same settings and under the same 
conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a 
menu setting or pressing a button on the controller. 
There is no need to set it again.
w
p Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be 
erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to 
different shooting conditions.
