White balance adjustment
pwWhite 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.
p This adjustment must be performed when using the
unit for the first time or when the unit has not been
used for a prolonged period.
p It must be performed when the lighting conditions or
brightness has changed.
As the type of adjustment used, AWB (automatic white
balance adjustment) which is used to adjust the white
balance when the AWB button on the controller is pressed,
ATW (automatic tracking white balance adjustment) which
is used to keep adjusting the white balance at all times, or
manual adjustment can be selected.
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.
p Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their
setup procedure will be completed simply by selecting
them using the camera menus or web settings, or by
pressing the buttons on the controller, provided that they
are going to be used under the same conditions as the
ones established when the values were set.
There is no need to set it again.
p Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be
erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to
different shooting conditions.
