Setting the Camera Mode
The camera offers the following camera modes. With camera modes other than [Manual], the ND filter (A18)
and white balance (A19) are adjusted automatically by default. You can change the menu settings to allow
you to control them manually.
[Auto]: The camera controls the exposure by automatically adjusting the aperture, gain and shutter speed. This
is the default mode so the camera mode will be set to [Auto] the first time you use the camera or after you
reset all the camera's settings.
[Tv] (shutter priority AE): Set the shutter speed manually to match low light conditions or fast moving subjects.
The camera will then automatically set the appropriate aperture and gain to obtain the best exposure.
[Av] (aperture priority AE): Set the aperture manually to control the depth of field. The camera will then
automatically set the appropriate gain and shutter speed to obtain the best exposure.
[AGC] (automatic gain control): You can set the shutter speed and aperture manually. The camera will then
automatically adjust the gain (the sensor's sensitivity) depending on the brightness of the subject.
[Manual]: You can adjust the aperture, gain, shutter speed, ND filter and white balance manually.

NOTES
• Depending on the scene, the color may change when turning the ND filter on/off. Setting a custom white
balance (A20) may be effective in such case.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can select the ND filter
setting with the remote controller's ND button. On the remote controller, the ND filter indicators illuminate
depending on the selected setting (1 for [ND 1/8], 2 for [ND 1/64], 3 and 4 are not used).

White Balance
19
White Balance
The camera uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and produce accurate colors
under different lighting conditions. There are 4 methods of setting the white balance.
Auto white balance (AWB): The camera automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level.
Custom white balance: You can use a gray card or white object with no pattern to establish the white balance
and save it to one of two custom white balance settings, [WB-A] or [WB-B]. When shooting under fluorescent
lights, we recommend setting the custom white balance.
Preset white balance: Set the white balance to [Tung] (tungsten lighting) or [Dylt] (daylight). Preset white
balance settings can be further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to +9.
Select color temperature: Set the while balance to [Kelv] (Kelvin) to select a color temperature between 2,000
K and 15,000 K (in 100 K increments).
NOTES
• The [Custom Picture] >[Fine Tuning] >[White Balance] settings in the custom picture file (A29) take
precedence over the white balance set with these procedures.
• You can use the [Camera Setup] >[Shockless WB] setting to make the transition look smoother when you
change the white balance settings.
• When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camera, you can adjust the white
balance with the remote controller’s AWB button, A button, B button, PRESET button and Åbutton.
• The color temperatures displayed on the screen are approximate. Use them only as a reference.
Auto White Balance (AWB)
The camera constantly adjusts the white balance automatically to achieve an optimal level. The camera will
adjust the white balance if the light source changes.
