hello..I am new to PMW200..cant seem to get whit balance toggle switch to work..I dont seem to get preset setting..even when the camera is NOT in full auto mode
the toggle switch does not show preset fix balance..in other words even in preset if I press the while balance button in front of the camera, it starts colour balancing! It also
does not allow me to go to other settings of the toggle switch..I tried the menu without success..any help? Thanks

Having the menu on display:all prevent the white balance to be executed. At the time it happened to me I didn't know, so I reset to factory settings and all went back to normal.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

Hi Guys
Found the problem..! In the Menu(OTHERS) one has to select PART instead of ALL to change these settings..
Thanks again.
