My Favorite New Feature on the AF100

VARiable white balance preset. Using the Function knob one can increase/decrease your preset white balance at 100 degree increments. No having to dig into the menu.

Just like our HPX2700, very useful.

But I also like the 'click wheel' for shutter and frame rate.

I also like that there are separate adjustments for both A and B WB in the menus.

My custom daylight wb was consistently too warm until I upped it a notch and saved in A.

I like that feature too. but when i push the joystick it turns to focus area and then i can't get it back to fine tuning the white balance. any ideas? also not in the manual..

You can?! Nice! I'm gonna try that tomorrow. I need to save my 3200K and 5600K presets in A and B. I keep forgetting to do that. Does anyone else notice that the presets are pretty off right out of the box?

Hold the Function button in until the focus area indicators disappear - then you should be able to use it to fine tune the white balance.

Push/hold joystick in a few sec until the box disappears
and you'll be back in WB mode.

Just the opposite- daylight pre set was more accurate
Than custom WB(way too warm!).
