4 Capture a white subject, such as white
paper, full-screen in the same lighting
condition as the one in which the subject
is.
5 Press the (one push) button C.
The adjusted value is stored in A or
B. The stored color temperature
appears for about 3 seconds

Nowhere is it said that for the procedure to work, the camera must be in Stand-by mode. And yet it doesn't work while rolling - is it normal? With my EX1, I can measure and store AWB without stopping recording...

I'm not ranting - just want to know whether my unit is functioning normally :)
 
I just tried and could not do it while rolling. It appears you need to stop in order to do it...
