White balance adjustment
Adjust the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) to reproduce
white accurately. If the white balance is out of adjustment, not only will
white be reproduced poorly, but the color tones of the screen as a whole
will also be degraded.
• Perform adjustment when using the unit for the first time or when
the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.
• Perform adjustment when the lighting conditions or brightness
changes.
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.
• Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their setup
procedure will be completed simply by selecting them using the
camera menus or Web setup screen [Setup], 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.
• Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased.
• White balance adjustment is not possible in night mode.
• The white balance cannot be adjusted during preset playback.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different
shooting conditions.
<NOTE>
• After adjusting the white balance, and [SERIAL] or [IP] of [TRACKING
DATA OUTPUT] is set to [ON], the tracking data output may be
delayed or the value may not be updated. (→ page 71)
Automatic adjustment (AWB: AWB A or AWB B)
When performing operations from a wireless
remote control
Set the value for [PAINT] – [W/B BAL SETTING] –
1.
[WHITE BALANCE MODE] to either [AWB A] or [AWB B].
2.
Shoot a white subject (such as a white wall or
handkerchief) so that it fills the screen.
• Do not shoot shiny or very bright objects.
3.
Press the <SET> button.
The auto white balance adjustment (AWB) is performed, and the
white balance setting is entered.
• With [MONITOR DISPLAY] – [STATUS INDICATOR] –
[STATUS(AUTO)] – [ON] and with [OUTPUT ITEM] for each
output connector ([OUTPUT] – [12G SDI OUT/SFP+], etc.) set
to [STATUS], when white balance adjustment finishes normally,
"AWB OK" is displayed in the middle of the screen.
<NOTE>
• Adjustment cannot be performed while the color bar is displayed.
Switch to the camera image by pressing the <MODE> button.
• The white balance cannot be adjusted during preset playback.
• When the adjustment has failed, an error message such as "OUT
RANGE NG", "HIGH LIGHT NG", "LOW LIGHT NG" or "ATW NG" is
displayed.
• The results of AWB are displayed while you are viewing the OSD
menu even if [OUTPUT ITEM] is not set to [STATUS].
When performing operations from a controller
When using an AW‑RP150 or AW‑RP60
For details, refer to the operating instructions for the controller.
<NOTE>
• 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.
