Setting the white balance

The ratio between RGB (three primary colors) is adjusted so that white will be reproduced accurately.

If the white balance is off, not only will white be reproduced poorly but the color tone of the entire picture will also deteriorate.

The white balance must be adjusted when using a remote camera for the first time or when the remote camera has not been used for a prolonged period of time. It must also be adjusted when changes have been made in the lighting conditions or brightness.

The white balance can be adjusted automatically or manually (fine adjustment after automatic adjustment). In addition, preset values or the “auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)” which continues to adjust the white balance automatically all the time can be selected. The results of white balance adjustments can be stored

in memory A or memory B when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been selected for the white balance.
