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.
w p 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 p It must be performed when the lighting conditions or
brightness has changed.
When the [SET] button on the wireless remote controller has
been pressed, either the AWB (automatic white balance)
adjustment which is performed automatically or the ATW
(automatic tracking white) adjustment which is constantly
and continuously adjusted can be selected.
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.
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.
