							49Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance
Adjustments and Settings for Recording
To record high-quality video with the unit, the black and white balances must be adjusted according to conditions.
For higher quality, it is recommended that the adjustments should be made in this order AWB (white balance adjustment)  
ABB (black balance adjustment)  AWB (white balance adjustment).
Whenever light conditions change, the white balance must 
be re-adjusted.
To adjust the white balance, follow the steps below.
1Set the switches as illustrated below.
2Adjust the CC/ND FILTER control according to the light 
conditions.

						

							50Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance The detection area for the white balance is selectable 
between “90%”, “50%” and “25%”, using the menu option 
AWB AREA.
This option can be found in the  
screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
The detection area is factory-set to “25%”.
Position the WHITE BAL switch at [PRST].
This adjusts the white balance for the filter according to the 
position of the CC/ND FILTER control.
When the white balance has not been successfully adjusted, 
the viewfinder displays an error message.
If one of the error messages listed below appears, take the 
appropriate steps, then adjust the white balance again.
If the error message appears after repeated readjustments, 
the interior of the unit must be inspected. For more 
information, contact your distributor.Each value in memory is retained even if the unit is turned 
off; it will not be lost until the white balance is re-adjusted. 
White balances are stored in either of two systems: A or B.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “ON” (default), 
each system stores only one value. If this is the case, the 
values are not synchronized with the filters.
This option can be found in the  
screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “OFF”, the 
adjusted value for each filter can be automatically stored in 
the memory that corresponds to the position of the WHITE 
BAL switch ([A] or [B]). Your unit has 4 built-in filters; it stores
