Locking the white balance setting
(W.BALANCE buttons)
The VID-P110 automatically adjusts the white
balance. You can lock the white balance setting when
the object color is not displayed naturally. This is
useful when you display:
• a monochromatic material (including film negatives)
or background, or
• a pale colored material.
To lock the white balance setting, press the ONE
PUSH button. The white balance setting which adjusts
immediately before you pressed the button is held.
In the ONE PUSH mode, it locks the last automatic
white balance setting and maintains it even when the
lighting conditions change. This allows the color of the
material to be displayed naturally.

setting and adjust the white balance automatically.
