White balance adjustment

wwWhite balance adjustment

In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire screen will also be degraded.

ppThis adjustment must be performed when using the unit for the first time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.

ppIt must be performed when the lighting conditions or brightness has changed.

Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which initiates automatic adjustment when the AWB button on the controller has been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the white balance can be selected for adjustment purposes.

The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been selected for the white balance.

ppOnce the white balance has been adjusted when the unit is used with the same settings and under the same conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a

menu setting or pressing a button on the controller. There is no need to set it again.

ppOnce a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased.

Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different shooting conditions.
