Introduction

If you format (initialize) the SDHC/SDXC card, all

data recorded on the card, including video data and setup files, will be deleted.

If you want to wipe out all information by completely

erasing the data, we recommend either using commercially available software that is specially designed for that purpose, or by physically destroying the SDHC/SDXC card with a hammer, etc. When formatting or erasing data using the camera recorder, only the file administration information is changed. The data is not completely erased from the SDHC/SDXC card.

Some commercially available SDHC/SDXC cards

may be harder to be removed from this unit. Remove them by hooking onto the groove on the cards.

It will be easier to remove the cards after serveral times.

Do not stick any stickers on the cards.

Handling of SDHC/SDXC Cards

The access lamp and status indicator blink in green

when data on the SDHC/SDXC card is being accessed. Do not remove the SDHC/SDXC card during data access (such as recording, playback, or formatting). Do not turn off the power or remove the battery and AC adapter during access either.

Do not use or store the SDHC/SDXC card in a place

that is subject to static electricity or electrical noise.

Do not place the SDHC/SDXC card near locations

that are exposed to strong magnetic fields or radio waves.

Inserting the SDHC/SDXC card incorrectly may

result in damage of this unit or the SDHC/SDXC card.

We are not liable for any accidental loss of data

stored on the SDHC/SDXC card. Please back up any important data.

Make use of the SDHC/SDXC card within the

prescribed conditions of use. Do not use it at the following locations. Places that are subject to direct sunlight, high humidity or corrosion, places near thermal equipment, sandy or dusty places, or in a car under the sun with the doors and windows closed.

This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the white balance or when the camera recorder is moved frequently in and out of places with different lighting conditions.

Set to the Manual shooting mode.

Applicable to: Full Auto shooting mode A, Manual shooting mode

The picture quality of the camera can be set using the recording menu below. As the adjustments are shown on the screen, you can adjust the values while checking the picture quality on the camera.

“GAMMA” (A p. 60)

“GAMMA LEVEL” (A p. 60)

“COLOR MATRIX” (A p. 60)

For details of the respective items, refer to the recording menu.

Set “FAW” in the recording menu.

“ FAW ” (A p. 61)

You can assign FAW (Fulltime Auto White balance) to any of the three positions on the [WHT.BAL] switch ([A], [B], [PRST(PRESET)]).

Set the [WHT.BAL] switch to the position that is assigned the FAW function.

Memo :

Set the camera recorder to the Full Auto shooting mode to activate the FAW mode. White balance is automatically adjusted according to the color temperature of the lighting on the object.

In these cases, white balance switching with the [WHT.BAL] selection switch is disabled.

Caution :

The FAW function cannot provide optimum white balance with a subject outside the FAW adjustment range, for example when it contains only a single color or not enough white color.

The accuracy of FAW is inferior to that of Auto White Balance.

When the power of the camera recorder is turned on with the FAW mode selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW adjustment to complete. Do not start recording during this interval.
