Note
• The White Shading adjustment cannot be executed for the correct adjustment values if the object pattern has non-
uniformity or if other conditions such as lens iris setting and zoom setting are not correctly satisfied.
• Use a full white pattern for the White Shading adjustment having uniform brightness over the entire area.
• If a full white pattern having uniform brightness over the entire area is not available, do not execute the G-channel
White shading adjustment. Instead of it, execute the White shading adjustment in the way of aligning the R-channel
waveform and the B-channel waveform to the waveform of G-channel.
White Saw/Para
The White Saw/Para menu can be used to turn White Shading correction On or Off. The White Saw/Para is turned On
automatically when the power is turned On.
Channel Sel
The Channel Sel menu enables selection of the channel (G-ch or B-ch or R-ch) to execute the H Saw, H Para, V Saw,
and V Para white shading adjustments on.
When the Channel Sel menu selects any other channel, the displays of the H Saw, H Para, V Saw, and V Para setup
values are changed to the current setup values of the channel selected by the Channel Sel menu. The changes are reflected
on the H Saw, H Para, V Saw, and V Para setup values.

The V Saw menu enables the vertical Saw white shading correction (linear increase and decrease) level.
White V Para
The V Para menu enables the vertical Parabola white shading correction (sensitivity correction at the vertical center
with respect to both ends) level.
