A continuous automatic white balance position (AWC) is also available. This function
continuously measures the white balance and adjusts it accordingly. It can be used when a
constant color balance is required under changing lighting temperatures (sunsets,
indoors/outdoors use).
Color Tint
In some cases, color temperature alone is not enough to fully compensate for color cast so
an additional tint adjustment is needed. Similar to how color temperature specifies the
relative warmth or coolness of an image, tint generally specifies the balance between
magenta and green color casts. When combined, color temperature and tint can therefore
control and effectively remove virtually any color cast.
Color Filter
In the auto-white positions (FL50, FL60, AW1 and AW2) a color filter can be set up in the
production Setup > Color > Color Temp > Color Filter menu. This varies the color
balance to obtain warmer or colder color effects.

Note
The automatic white balance process is performed independent of the color filter. The color
filter is not disabled when AWC is on.
