Adjusting the White Balance Automatically

You can obtain an appropriate adjusted white balance at all times using ATW (auto tracking white balance).

When ATW is enabled, the white balance is automatically adjusted as the color temperature of the light source changes.

  1. Press the [White Balance] button in the camera basic configuration panel.

    The frame of the [White Balance] button changes to orange.

    The White Balance adjustment panel appears.

  2. Press the [White Mode] button and select [ATW] from the list.

Note

  • It may not be possible to adjust to the appropriate color using ATW, depending on the lighting and subject conditions.

    Examples:

    • When a single color dominates the subject, such as sky, sea, ground, or flowers.
    • When the color temperature is extremely high or extremely low.
  • If the ATW auto tracking speed is slow or the appropriate effect cannot be obtained, press the [WB SET] button to run auto white balance.

Hint

  • You can select the response speed when in ATW mode from five steps (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) using [Shooting] – [White Setting] – [ATW Speed] in the camera menu. The lower the number, the faster the response speed.
  • You can freeze the current white balance setting by assigning the [ATW Hold] function to an assignable button, and pressing the assignable button to temporarily pause ATW during ATW mode.
