If this is the case, the values arenot synchronised with the filters.This option can be found in the screen, which is accessible from the CAM OPERATION page.When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “OFF”, the adjustedvalue for each filter can be automatically stored in the memorythat corresponds to the position of the WHITE BAL switch (A orB). Your AJ-SPX800P has four built-in filters; it stores eight (4 C2) adjusted values.Note that, when the menu options AWB A and AWB B are set to“VAR”, the color temperatures specified through COLOR TEMPA and COLOR TEMP B are used, meaning that the whitebalances cannot be adjusted with the AWB switch.
