added to the white balance for
channel A.

Set the WHITE BAL switch to the channel (A or B)

Note
If the WHITE BAL switch is not set to A or B, the
adjusted value is not reflected in the video output even
though you carry out the following operation.

Turn the MENU knob to perform the settings for each
item, and press the MENU knob.
If you want to set the other channel, go back to step 2.
Setting the Amount of
Compensation for Color Casts by
ND Filters
The internal ND filters are almost color neutral, but there
is a slight color cast for each filter. This can cause the white
balance to shift when you change the position of the
FILTER selector.
The ND COMP function compensates for this
automatically by memorizing a color offset for each filter.
Note that these offset values are adjusted correctly when
the unit is shipped from the factory. Normally you should
not need to carry out the following procedure.
To set the amount of compensation for color
casts
1
Shoot a gray scale or white test card and zoom up so
that it fills the screen.
2
Set the FILTER selector to position 4, and adjust the
lighting so that "OK" appears when the white balance
is adjusted.
3
Display the ND COMP page of the ADVANCED
menu, and then press the MENU knob.
For details on menu operations, see "Basic Menu
Operations" on page 132.
