White Balance
To adjust the 'white balance' settings, tap the white balance arrow icons with your finger.
Your Blackmagic URSA includes white balance presets for a variety of color temperature conditions.
These are:
‚ 2500, 2800, 3000, 3200, 3400, 3600, 4000, 4500 and 4800K for various conditions under
tungsten, incandescent or fluorescent light, or under dull natural light including candle light,
sunrise/sunset, morning, and after noon light.
‚ 5000, 5200, 5400 and 5600K for outdoors on a clear, sunny day.
‚ 6000, 6500, 7000, 7500 and 8000K for a variety of daylight conditions.
Every light source emits a color. For example, a candle flame emits a warm color, and an overcast
sky emits a cool color. White balance settings are used to color balance your image so white stays
white. For example, when shooting under tungsten lamps which emit a warm light, selecting 3200K
adds some blue to the image. This balances the color so white is accurately recorded.
Color balance settings can also be used for creating color effects. For example, setting your white
balance to 7500K can significantly warm your picture to create an intimate mood.
Shutter Angle
To adjust the 'shutter angle' settings, tap the shutter angle arrow icons.
Shutter angle defines the level of motion blur in your video, and can be used to compensate for
varying light conditions. 180 degrees is the optimum shutter angle for capturing a satisfying motion
blur in most conditions. However as lighting conditions change, or the amount of movement in your
scene increases, you may decide to adjust accordingly.
For example, 360 degrees is considered 'wide open' and allows maximum light onto the sensor. This
is useful for low light conditions with subtle movement in your scene. Alternatively, if shooting motor
sport with rapid movement, a narrow shutter angle will provide minimal motion blur for sharper,
crisper images.
When shooting 24p in countries with 50 hertz power supplies, 172.8 degrees will minimize potential
flickering from 50Hz light sources.
