White balance adjustment
White balance adjustment
In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire screen will also be degraded.
This adjustment must be performed when using the unit for the first time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.
It must be performed when the lighting conditions or brightness has changed.
The white balance can be adjusted automatically or manually (when it is to be adjusted finely following the automatic adjustment).
In addition, it is possible to select preset values and the “Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)” function, which continues to constantly adjust the white balance automatically.
The results of the white balance adjustment can be stored in two memories, A and B, when “AWC A” or “AWC B” has been selected for the white balance.
Once the white balance has been adjusted when the unit is used with the same settings and under the same conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a menu setting or pressing a button on the controller. There is no need to set it again.
Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different shooting conditions.
