Manual Focus Adjustment; Camera Gain; Shutter Speed Control; White Balance - Blackmagicdesign ATEM Production Studio 4K Installation And Operation Manual

Click on the auto focus button or drag the manual focus
adjustment left or right to focus a compatible lens.

Manual Focus Adjustment

When you want to adjust the focus on your camera manually, you can use the focus
adjustment located at the bottom of each camera controller. Drag the wheel control left or
right to manually adjust focus while viewing the video feed from the camera to ensure your
image is nice and sharp.

Camera Gain

The camera gain setting allows you to turn on additional gain in the camera. This is
important when you are operating in low light conditions and need extra gain in the
front end of the camera to avoid your images being under exposed. You can decrease
or increase gain by clicking on the left or right arrows on the dB gain setting.
You can turn on some gain when you need it, such as outdoor shoots when the light
fades at sunset and you need to increase your image brightness. It's worth noting that
adding gain will increase noise in your images.

Shutter Speed Control

The shutter speed control is located in the section between the color wheel and the
iris/pedestal control. Decrease or increase the shutter speed by hovering your mouse
pointer over the shutter speed indicator and then clicking on the left or right arrows.
If you see flicker in lights you can decrease your shutter speed to eliminate it. Decreasing
shutter speed is a good way to brighten your images without using camera gain because
you are increasing the exposure time of the image sensor. Increasing shutter speed will
reduce motion blur so can be used when you want action shots to be sharp and clean
with minimal motion blur.

White Balance

The white balance setting next to the shutter speed control can be adjusted by clicking
on the left or right arrows on each side of the color temperature indicator. Different light
sources emit warm or cool colors, so you can compensate by adjusting the white
balance. This ensures the whites in your image stay white.
Hovering your mouse pointer over the gain, shutter
speed and white balance indicators reveal arrows you
can click on to adjust their respective settings.
