Panasonic AW-E860L $ Manual white balance setting, $ Automatic tracking white balance setting ATW

Notes:

•For white balance setting aim the camera at a white object and try to position it in the centre of the monitor screen. The object must appear in over 10 % of the total monitor screen area. Try to avoid overly bright objects in the scene.

•White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting of the object is too weak.

The white object must occupy over 10 % of the monitor screen area.

•Since the camera has a built-in memory, the set white balance will remain in the memory even if power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to reset the white balance if the colour temperature of those objects remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if the colour temperature changes, such as when you move from indoors to outside, or vice versa.

•When the camera is used without a RCU or RCB red/blue gain adjustment of painting setting will be automatically reset to ±0 after setting the white balance. (painting setting in only User Mode.)

$ Automatic tracking white balance setting (ATW)

White balance will be automatically set to continuously match changes of light source and colour temperature while the white balance setting is set to ATW.

Notes:

•ATW might not function properly when high brightness light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.

•White balance may not be accurately set if there is no white object in the scene being shot.

$ Manual white balance setting

[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]

Manual setting is possible in User Mode only.

1.Select the white balance mode either AWC A or AWC B by menu.

2.Aim the camera at a large white object.

Press the ITEM/AWC switch for over 2 second.

3.Adjust the red gain/blue gain control in the Painting item of Colour Set sub menu of User Mode until the carrier wave of the white portion of the video signal is at the minimum width or the white object in the monitor screen appears pure white. (Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for precise adjustment.)

[ADJUSTMENT with the RCU (RCB)]

After AWC setting, adjust the R/B GAIN controller in the same way as described in Step 3 above.
