White Balance Adjustment; Automatic Adjustment (Awb: Awb A Or Awb B) - Panasonic AW-UE100WP Operating Instructions Manual

White balance adjustment

Adjust the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) to reproduce
white accurately. If the white balance is out of adjustment, not only will
white be reproduced poorly, but the color tones of the screen as a whole
will also be degraded.
• Perform adjustment when using the unit for the first time or when
the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.
• Perform adjustment when the lighting conditions or brightness
changes.
Either "AWB" (automatic white balance adjustment) which initiates
automatic adjustment when the <AWB> button on the controller has
been pressed or "ATW" (automatic tracking white balance adjustment)
which constantly adjusts the white balance can be selected for
adjustment purposes.
The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two memories,
A and B, when [AWB A] or [AWB B] has been selected for the white
balance.
• Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their setup
procedure will be completed simply by selecting them using the
camera menus or Web setup screen [Setup], or by pressing the
buttons on the controller, provided that they are going to be used
under the same conditions as the ones established when the values
were set. There is no need to set it again.
• Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased.
• White balance adjustment is not possible in night mode.
• The white balance cannot be adjusted during preset playback.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different
shooting conditions.
<NOTE>
• After adjusting the white balance, and [Serial] or [IP] of [Tracking Data
Output] is set to [On], the tracking data output may be delayed or the
value may not be updated. (→ page 64)
