NOTES:
• For white balance setting aim the camera at a
white object and try to position it in the center of
the monitor screen. The object must appear in
over 10% of the total monitor screen area. Try to
avoid overly bright object in the scene.
• White balance may not be correctly set if the light-
ing of the object is not strong enough.
The white object must occupy over
10% of the monitor screen area.
• Since the camera has a built-in battery, the set
white balance will be kept 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.
• When the camera is used without an RCU or RCB
red/blue adjustment of painting setting will be
automatically reset to its center after setting the
white balance.
AUTOMATIC TRACKING WHITE BALANCE SETTING
(ATW)
White balance will be automatically set to continuously
match changes of light source and color temperature while
the white balance setting is set to ATW in the SETUP
menu.
Note: White balance may not be accurately set if there is
no white object in the scene being shot.
MANUAL WHITE BALANCE SETTING
1. Set the white balance setting to MANU in the SETUP
menu.
2. Aim the camera at a large white object.
3. Adjust the red gain/blue gain control in the page No.1
of INITIAL SET menu until the carrier wave of the white
portion of the video signal is at the minimum width or
the white object in the monitor screen appears pure
white. (Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for
precise adjustment.)
Note: It cannot be manually adjusted if the camera is
controlled by RCU or RCB.
Minimize the carrier wave using
the red & blue gain controls
