Error message
Meaning
NG: Poor White
Area
The white surface of the
subject is too narrow, and
could not be adjusted.
If any of the above error messages is displayed,
retry the white balance adjustment. If the error
message occurs again, an internal check is
necessary.
For information about this internal check, refer to the
Maintenance Manual.
If you have no time to adjust the white balance
Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST.
Changing the color temperature when the ND
filter is switched
You can assign electrical CC (color correction)
filters to ND filters (page 5) allowing you to
change the color temperature automatically when
the ND filter is switched.
1
Set Maintenance >White Filter >ND Filter C.
Temp to On in the setup menu (page 100).
2
To assign an electrical CC filter to FILTER knob
position number 1, select [ND FLT C.
Temp<1>]. To assign it to positions 2 to 4,
select [ND FLT C.Temp<2-4>].
3
Turn the MENU knob to select the desired
color temperature.

Repeat steps
2
and
3
as required.
Switching electrical CC filters with an assignable
switch
You can assign the function that switches between
electrical CC filters to an assignable switch. This
allows you to switch between color temperatures
(3200K/4300K/5600K/6300K) that have been
assigned using up to four positions (A to D) with
each press of the assignable switch.
Regardless of assignments to assignable
switches, you can also switch between the color
temperatures assigned to each position from a
RM-B150/B170/B750 Remote Control Unit.
1
Select Maintenance >White Filter in the setup
menu.
2
Select the position to which to assign a CC
filter by selecting one of [Electrical CC<A>] to
[Electrical CC <D>], and then turn the MENU
knob to select the desired color temperature.
Select “-----” with Electrical CC <C> or <D>
selected.
When the assignable switch is pressed, the
setting for that position is not displayed. For
example, if “-----” is set for one position, then
switching between the remaining three
positions is carried out.
3
Repeat step
2
as required.
4
Assign the electrical CC filter switching
function (ELECTRICAL CC) to an assignable
switch (page 107).
White balance memory
Values stored in memory are held until the white
balance is next adjusted, even if the camcorder
power is turned off.
The camcorder has two white balance memories,
A and B. You can automatically save adjustment
values for each ND filter in the memory that
corresponds to the WHITE BAL switch setting (A
or B). The camcorder has four built-in ND filters,
allowing you to save a total of eight adjustment
values (4×2). However, the contents of the
memories are not linked to ND filter settings in the
following cases.
ˎ
ˎ
When the number of memories allocated to
each of A and B is limited to one by setting
Operation >White Setting >Filter White Memory
in the setup menu to Off.
ˎ
ˎ
When the electrical CC filter switching function
has been assigned to an assignable switch,
or when a remote control unit has been
connected. (In these cases, the contents of
white balance memory are linked to electrical
CC filter positions (A to D).)
Also, when Operation >White Setting >White
Switch<B> in the setup menu is set to [ATW
(Auto Tracing White Balance)], and the WHITE BAL
switch is set to B, the ATW function is activated
to automatically adjust the white balance of the
picture being shot for varying lighting conditions.
