6. White balance setting [WHITE BAL]
The white balance adjustment is selectable from the following.
ATW1 (default):Activates the automatic color temperature tracking mode.
The camera continuously check the color temperature of the light source and automatically adjusts the white
balance. The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2700 K to 6000 K.
ATW2: Activates the sodium lamp automatic color temperature tracking mode. The camera automatically achieves an optimal white
balance under the sodium lamp. The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from approx. 2000 K to 6000 K.
AWC: Activates the automatic white balance control mode. This adjustment is suitable for a location where a light source is stable.
The adjustment of the color temperature ranges from 2000 K to 10000 K. When “AWC” is selected, the white balance needs
to be adjusted.
