White Balance Adjustment - Sanyo VCC-XZ400P Instruction Manual

VIEW SETTING

WHITE BALANCE adjustment

Three white balance methods are available: Auto trace white balance (ATW), one-push automatic
white balance (AWC), and manual white balance (MWB). Default setting is auto trace white balance.
ATW setting
A
Automatic white balance settings are completed
when ATW is selected. However, white balance
will not be suitably adjusted if a bright light
source or an excessively dark area from the
environment is in the image. In this case, the
bright light source or dark area should be
masked so that it will not be detected.
In the VIEW SETTING screen, use the
CURSOR button (jldc) to select ATW for
WHITE BALANCE, then press the SET button.
The ATW SETTING screen will appear.
MASKING setting
1
Use the CURSOR button (jldc) to
select ON for MASKING, then press the
SET button.
The ATW MASKING screen will appear.
2
Use the CURSOR button (jldc) to
move the mask pattern over the bright
light source, then press the SET button.
Use the same steps to place addition masks
as needed.
Note: Initial settings place no masks on the
screen. To cancel the placement of
masks, press the SET button again.
3
Use the CURSOR button (l) to move a
mask pattern to the bottom area of the
screen and continue holding the CURSOR
button straight down for 3 seconds.
To return the settings in this screen to their
defaults, change PRESET to ON and then
press the SET button.
To close the menu screen or return to the
previous screen, select BACK or END for
MENU and press the SET button.
SMART ATW setting
If saturation is high or a scene is bright, the
most suitable colors may not be obtained. In this
case, set the SMART ATW to ON.
Use the CURSOR button (jldc) to select
ON for SMART ATW, then press the SET
button.
To return the settings in this screen to their
defaults, change PRESET to ON and then
press the SET button.
To close the menu screen or return to the
previous screen, select BACK or END for
MENU and press the SET button.
AWC setting
B
White balance is adjusted automatically with
one-push activation. AWC is usually set for
white target objects (walls, paper, etc.) that do
not return color faithfully in the ATW method.
In the VIEW SETTING screen, use the
CURSOR button (jldc) to select AWC for
WHITE BALANCE, then press the SET button.
The AWC SETTING screen will appear.
