Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to [ATW], the white
balance continues to be adjusted automatically all the time, and it is
automatically corrected even when the light source or color temperature
has changed to produce completely natural pictures.
This functions when [PAINT] – [W/B BALANCE SETTING] – [ATW] is
set to [ON].
<NOTE>
• ATW might not function properly when high brightness light (ex.
fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.
• White balance may not be accurately set if there is no white object in
the scene being shot.
• The white balance may shift out of adjustment when different kinds of
light sources such as sunlight and fluorescent lighting are applied.
3200K and 5600K presets
When [3200K] or [5600K] is selected for the white balance, the white
balance is set using a color temperature of 3200 K (equivalent to
halogen light) or 5600 K (equivalent to daylight), respectively.
This function works when [3200K] or [5600K] is selected instead of
[AWB A] or [AWB B] by following the steps for “Automatic adjustment” in
“White balance adjustment” (→ page 44).
VAR
When [VAR] is selected for the white balance, you can select a color
temperature between 2000K and 15000K.
<NOTE>
• The displayed [VAR] value does not guarantee an absolute value. Use
the value as a reference.
