Hold the paper in front of the camera so that it covers just over half the viewing area.

CRT Adjustment Menu PED LEVEL: Altering the PED level will slightly alter the output voltage of the composite video out, altering the way that a CRT monitor will build images by combining the red, green and blue pixels on screen. Higher values will give brighter images, particularly in darker areas of greyscale. -
Page 16: Lcd Adjustment Menu
LCD Adjustment Menu GAMMA: Allows you to fine tune the gamma reproduction curve of your monitor. This is an expert feature, and intended for advanced users only. If you want to make adjustments to your images, we suggest using the Image Adjustment menu and the options located therein: the vast majority of outcomes achievable by using the GAMMA adjustment setting here can also be achieved, more easily and accurately, by tweaking the Brightness and Contrast settings on the ProcAmp. -

Page 19: Manual White Balance Menu
Manual White Balance Menu COLOR TEMP: Color temperature (technically measured in degrees kelvin) is a measurement of the average wavelength of light being photographed. Artificial lights (particularly older style tugnsten bulbs) have a low color temperature, somewhere between 3000°K and 3500°K, and this appears to be an orange/yellow color. -
