Basic operation
White balance adjustment
While referring to the monitor, shoot a white subject
(such as a wall or sheet of paper) in full screen under
the same lighting conditions as those that will exist
during the actual shoot.
1 White balance adjustment (auto)
Set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [AUTO].
Hold the [SET] switch to the right. [AUTO WHITE] will
blink in the upper left corner of the monitor screen.
When white balance adjustment is complete, this
indication changes to [AUTO WHITE OK].
For further fine adjustment, use the [ADJ R]/[ADJ B]
volume controls for FINE ADJ.
If the indication in the upper left corner of the
monitor screen does not change to [AUTO WHITE
OK], white balance has not been completely ad-
justed.
Check the following points, then retry auto white
balance adjustment.
1. Is the light insufficient?
Adjust the lighting.
2. Did you shoot a coloured subject?
Shoot a white subject.
2 White balance adjustment (manual)
Connect a measuring instrument such as a waveform
monitor to the video signal output jacks and adjust the
white balance while watching the waveform.
First, set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [MANUAL].
Adjust the PB, PR output amplitudes to the minimum with
the [R]/[B] volume controls.
Adjust the PR with the [R] volume control and the PB with
the [B] volume control.
If a measuring instrument is not available, adjust the
picture on the monitor screen until it is white. In this
case, high-precision white balance cannot be
obtained.
3 White balance adjustment (preset)
Set the WHITE BALANCE switch to [PRESET].
When a halogen lamp is used as a light source, check
the MENU-PAGE 1's [PRESET W.B.] menu, and set the
[3200K/5600K] switch to 3200K. If a light source similar
to sunlight is used, set this switch to 5600K.
For further fine adjustment, use the [ADJ R]/[ADJ B]
volume controls for FINE ADJ.
