White Balance

Hi to al Z7 / 270 users!

I am wondering if there is a way to see the Kelvin Number AFTER doing a manual WB.

The number is shown for a moment after WB, but replaced by "<A>" (or B) and doesnt show up when checking Status.

Is there a way to check the stored value later too?

Didnt find a way yet except switching between A/B/P, what I need is a quick check of the actual setting/Kelvin value while or before shooting.

Any idea?

Hi Uli,

Wich model are you using?

Can't you check this with the MENU/STATUS switch on the HVR-S270?

How this is done on the HVR-Z7 I don't know.

No.

Status Checks shows everything from audio metering/settings up to recording formats or button assignments. There is a WB value showing up, but this is only the dialed in preset value - not memory A or B.

I played with it a lot but did not find a way to read out the kelvin values from A or B yet...

Anyone?
