 Error Message
If the auto white balance adjustment is not correctly 
completed, one of the following messages will appear for 
about 3 seconds.

Using the Full Auto White Balance (FAW) 
Function

The FAW function adjusts the white balance value 
automatically as the lighting condition changes.
This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the 
white balance or when the camera recorder is moved 
frequently in and out of places with different lighting 
conditions.

Set using [Camera Function] menu [Switch 

B[FAW]. (A Page 66)

You can assign FAW (Full Auto White balance) to any of the 
three positions on the [WHT.BAL] switch ([A], [B], 
[PRST(PRESET)]).

Set the [WHT.BAL] switch to the position that is 

assigned the FAW function.

● Set the camera recorder to the Full Auto shooting mode to 

activate the FAW mode. White balance is automatically 
adjusted according to the color temperature of the lighting 
on the object.

● When Program AE is set to ATwilightB, the white balance is 

automatically set to 5600K.

● In these cases, white balance switching with the [WHT.BAL] 

selection switch is disabled.

● The FAW function cannot provide optimum white balance 

with a subject outside the FAW adjustment range, for 
example when it contains only a single color or not enough 
white color.

● The accuracy of FAW is inferior to that of Auto White 

Balance.

● When the power of the camera recorder is turned on with 

the FAW mode selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the 
FAW adjustment to complete. Do not start recording 

during this interval.
