[White Balance Set A], [White Balance Set B]
Obtain a reference white using the same lighting conditions you plan to use when shooting.
Place a white object (e.g. white paper) under the light source, point the camera at the white object so that it fills the whole
screen, and click [Exec].
You can save two custom white balance settings, [White Balance Set A] and [White Balance Set B].
A gray card or white object
[Daylight] (approx. 5500 K)
Select this when capturing under the sunlight. It can be further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to +9 in [White Balance
Fine Adjustment].
[Tungsten] (approx. 3000 K)
Select this when capturing under a light bulb (indoor). It can be further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to +9 in [White
Balance Fine Adjustment].
[Color Temperature]
In the color temperature setting, you can select a color temperature between +2000 K and +15000 K in 100 K
increments.
Important
• The white balance settings in the custom picture file ([R Gain], [B Gain]) take precedence over the white balance set with these
procedures.
• If [Infrared] is set to [Enable], [White Balance] cannot be set.
• The color temperatures set and displayed on the Setting Page are approximate. Use them only as a reference.
• Custom white balance may provide better results in the following cases:
– Changing lighting conditions
– Close-ups
– Subjects in a single color (sky, sea or forest)
– Under mercury lamps and certain types of fluorescent and LED lights
• Readjust the custom white balance if the light source or ND filter setting changes.
[Infrared]
You can select [Infrared] to be enabled/disabled. Using the infrared mode, the camera becomes more sensitive to infrared
light, allowing you to shoot in dark locations.
Important
Depending on the light source, autofocus may not work well during infrared mode.
[ND Mode]
Select [Auto] or [Manual] for how the ND filter is adjusted.
Using the ND filter allows you to open up the aperture to obtain a shallower depth of field even when shooting in bright
surroundings.
Important
• If [Camera Mode] is set to [Manual], [ND Mode] is fixed to [Manual] and will not be displayed.
• If [Infrared] is set to [Enable], [ND Mode] cannot be set.
