White balance a\fjus\wtment
wwWhite balance adjus\>tment
In order for the white to be\R reproduced accurately, the ratio 
between the three primary colors (RGB) is ad\Rjusted. If the 
white balance has s\Rhifted out of adju\Rstment, not only w\Rill the 
white be reproduced\R poorly but the color tones \Rof the entire 
screen will also be\R degraded.
wp This adjustment must be performed when using th\>e 
unit f

or the first time or when the\> unit has not been\> 
used for a prolonged period.
wp It must be performed when the light\>ing conditions or \>
brightness has c

hanged.
Either AWB (automatic white \Rbalance adjustment)\R which 
initiates automati\Rc adjustment when t\Rhe AWB button on the 
controller has been\R pressed or ATW (automatic tracking 
white balance adjus\Rtment) which constan\Rtly adjusts the 
white balance can be\R selected for adjustment purposes.
The results of the\R AWB adjustment can be\R stored in two 
memories, A and B, when “AWB

“AWB
 B” has been 
selected f

or the white balan\Rce.
wpOnce the white bala\Rnce has been adjust\Red when the 
unit is used with \Rthe same settings \Rand under the same\R 
conditions, its setting is co\Rmpleted simply by selecting a

There is no need t\Ro set it again.

White balance a\fjus\wtment
When the AW‑RP50 is connected\>:
Refer to the Operating Instructions of the contr\Roller.
wp White balance may not be correctly s\Ret if the lighting\R 
of the object is to\Ro weak.
wpSince the unit has \Ra built‑in memory

, the set white 
balance will remain\R in the memory even if power is 
turned off. Therefore, it is not necessa\Rry to reset the 
white balance if th\Re color temperature of those obj\Rects 
remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if th\Re 
color temperature changes, such as when you move 
from indoors to ou\Rtside, or vice versa.
Notes
wq Auto tracking white adjustme\>nt (ATW)
When the white bal\Rance adjustment is \Rset to “ATW”, the 
white balance contin\Rues to be adjusted\R automatically all \R
the time, and it is automa\Rtically corrected even when the 
light source or colo\Rr temperature has changed t\Ro produce 
completely natural pictures.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instea\Rd of 
“AWB
