This chapter describes the functions available for controlling exposure in your camera.

White Balance

The DCS 620, 620x, and 660 cameras offer Custom White Balance functionality. (This
feature is not available with the DCS 660M camera.)
You can save White Balance settings using the your camera or the DCS Acquire Module
or DCS TWAIN Data Source (version 5.8 or later). You can also delete White Balance
settings when they are no longer needed.
This feature saves you time if you repetitively work under the same lighting conditions.
For example, if you frequently work in an indoor stadium with a particular type of
lighting, you can name and save a White Balance setting for reuse.
When you select a white balance option, you identify the type of lighting used to capture
an image. For example, if you capture an image in daylight, you would set the white
balance to daylight for the best results.
IMPORTANT:
White balance affects how your col or ima ge is cap tured. If you use an incorrect sett ing ,
you may not get optimal results.
Be careful not to cover the white balance sensor window on the front of the camera
with the hand grip or your finger as this will affect auto white balance settings.
