White balance adjustment (continued)
When the AW-RP50 is connected:
Refer to the Operating Instructions of the controller.
White balance may not be correctly set if the lighting
of the object is too weak.
Since the unit 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 color temperature of those objects
remains unchanged. However, it must be reset if the
color temperature changes, such as when you move
from indoors to outside, or vice versa.
Notes
Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the
white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all
the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the
light source or color temperature has changed to produce
completely natural pictures.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of
“AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic
adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 22).
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.
The white balance may shift out of adjustment when
a different kind of light source such as sunlight or
fluorescent lighting applies.
Notes
3200K and 5600K presets
When “3200K” or “5600K” is selected for the white balance,
the white balance is set using a color temperature of
3200K (equivalent to halogen light) or 5600K (equivalent to
daylight), respectively.
This function works when “3200K” or “5600K” is selected
instead of “AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for
“Automatic adjustment” in “White balance adjustment”
(page 22).
(From the controller, this operation can be performed
only using the menu displays. Refer to “Basic operations”
(page 29).)
