Setting White Balance

(3)
(1) [Auto]
The white balance is adjusted automatically.
(2) [Light Source]
Select the light source from the pull-down menu below
according to the condition in which the camera is
used.
For an explanation on each item set in [Light Source],
see [White Balance] in the Setting page (p. 5-10).
(3) [Lock]
The white balance is fixed to that of the video currently
received.
To forcibly fix the white balance according to the light
source, use [One-shot WB].
Example of Setting Method:
Irradiate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the
light source and capture the subject over the entire
screen. In this condition, select [One-shot WB].
Important
• Since the light source selection options are based on
representative characteristics, proper colors may not be
achieved depending on the applicable light source. In this
case, use the [One-shot WB] function.
• If the subject looks greenish under mercury lamps in the
[Auto] mode, select the [Mercury Lamp] mode under light
source. If the image is still not shown in appropriate colors
under mercury lamps when the [Mercury Lamp] mode is
selected under light source, use [One-shot WB].
• When the subject has only one color, under low light
conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain
other fluorescent lighting is used, colors may not be adjusted
automatically.
Performing Operations and Settings as the Administrator
• When [Night Mode] is set (including when it is set to [Auto]
and night mode is judged to be applicable), the white
balance function cannot be used.
• Notes on capturing video continuously day and night
If a subject that seldom changes is captured in a location
(1)
where the light source changes gradually, such as when
capturing a subject continuously day and night, appropriate
(2)
colors may not be achieved.
In the above case, applying changes to the image to capture
will achieve the appropriate colors.

Setting the Night Mode

The Night Mode cannot be used if [Auto] is set for day/night
under [Camera] on the Setting page (p. 5-11).
[Day Mode]
Color image can be viewed in the normal mode.
[Night Mode]
Images are shown in black and white, due to the
disabling of the infrared cut filter.
