White balance White balance is another camera feature that compensates for lighting
conditions. It adjusts the quality of all of the colors in the video by balancing
the colors to achieve the truest white possible for the available lighting
conditions (Tungsten, fluorescent, natural). This feature is used instead of a
more general color temperature setting. To correctly set the white balance,
focus the camera on a white object.
Choices are Auto (default), Indoor, Outdoor, ATW, and Manual.
• Auto: This mode automatically adjusts the color within the 3000 to
7500 Kelvin color temperature range.
• Indoor: This mode provides you with a fixed cooler color
temperature setting.
• Outdoor: This mode provides you with a fixed warmer color
temperature setting.
• ATW (autotracking white balance): This mode automatically adjusts
the color, while the images change, within the 2000 to 10000 Kelvin
color temperature range.
• Manual: This mode allows you to manually adjust the current blue
and red settings. After selecting the Manual option, select Set to
access the red and blue scales.
• Red: This adjustment is available only if Manual white balance is
selected. Options range from 0 to 127. Default is 64.

Exposure settings Exposure is a camera feature that establishes what controls the light coming
into the camera through the lens. Depending on your exposure selection under
Control, one or more of the light controlling options (Autoslow shutter,
Lowest shutter speed, and Return to auto) will be available.
Note: The Day/Night feature works only if the Exposure feature is set to Auto or
Return to auto. Also see Interrelationship between the Exposure and Day/Night
features on page 64.
