White balance adjustment
Since the colour of light (light temperature) changes depending on the light source, readjust the
white balance (AUTO WHITE) when the light source of the object changes.
In the digital output mode, white balance adjustment should be performed using the special
application software [KY-LINK].

● Error display
When the auto white balance cannot be set, one of
the following error messages will appear and the unit
will return to the normal screen.
NG: OBJECT (bad object)
Displayed when the object consists of little whiteness
or when the colour temperature is not correct.
Change to a white object and redo the white balance.
ERROR: LOW LIGHT (shortage of light)
Displayed when the lighting is too dark. Brighten the
lighting and redo the white balance.
ERROR: OVER LIGHT (excessive light)
• Displayed when the lighting is too bright. Close the
lens iris or lower the brightness and redo the white
balance.
• When the shutter speed is set to a slow speed, it may take
a while before the white balance operation is completed.
• With the factory setting, it may take up to 13 seconds de-
pending on the subject. (When setting the shutter speed to
1 s takes maximum of 1 minute 45 seconds.)

eration area and [AUTO WHITE OPERATION] will be
