Auto-White Balance

If the three preset colour temperatures do not match your lighting conditions then the auto-white procedure must be carried out as follows:

Automatic white balance button

Colour temperature up/down selection switch

a.First select one of the memory positions AW1 or AW2 in which to store the measured colour temperature value with the colour temperature up/ down switch.

b.Press the AWB button on the front/left side of the camera to start the automatic white balance procedure. The autowhite window appears in the viewfinder.

Clean Scan

The camera does not have a ‘clean scan’ facility. Although it is possible to select a variable exposure time between 151/181 to 829 Hz, it is not possible to increase it above the nominal setting (1/150 of 1/180).

Therefore, it is not possible to eliminate the horizontal bars when shooting monitors with this camera because their refresh rates are below 150Hz.

Autowh Win

c.Point the camera to fill the window with a reference white object.

d.Press the AWB button again to start the actual automatic white balance measurement procedure. The Autowh indicator in the viewfinder is now On.

e.When the process is completed (within a few seconds) the Autowh indicator in the viewfinder changes to Off. The measured colour temperature is now stored in the selected memory position and can be recalled as required. The camera is now ready for use.

Note

Iris is set to 90% during the auto-white process

and knee is turned off automatically.
