ISO AND WHITE BALANCE

 

ISO and White Balance are set either on the Camera Grip, the

A

Touch Display or, when tethered, in Phocus.

 

On the Camera Grip, the ISO / WB Button (A) provides

 

immediate access to ISO and White Balance settings.

 

The front scroll wheel (B) and Rear Scroll Wheel (C) are

 

used to make the desired changes. These appears on

 

the Touch Display and in the Electronic Viewfinder (EVF).

 

For the Touch Display, settings are changed on the Touch

 

Display or by using the soft buttons next to the display.

 

In Phocus there is a specific tool to control all Camera

 

settings.

 

The settings are automatically and simultaneously adjusted

 

within the Camera and changes display on both the Touch

 

Display and in the Electronic Viewfinder.

 

Note!

 

The changes are only displayed on the Touch Display after the

 

settings have been saved. See more information about making

 

manual White Balance settings in the ‘Touch Display Settings’

 

section.

Note!

White Balance settings are technically not necessary for 3F/3FR files. The raw format files contain all the information required for correction in Phocus and/or other software, regardless of the original colour temperature of the light source or colour temperature setting of the camera at the time of exposure.

If you intend to shoot RAW & JPEG or use Phocus for JPEG production and plan to deliver or print the JPEG files directly, then you should make a White Balance setting.

Note!

ISO and White Balance settings are made either on the Camera Grip or the Touch Display. The settings are automatically updated on both the Touch Display and the Electronic Viewfinder.
