Adjustments and Settings for Recording
: Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance
Adjustments and Settings for Recording
The detection area for the white balance is selectable
between “90%”, “50%” and “25%”, using the menu option
AWB AREA.
This option can be found in the <WHITE BALANCE MODE>
screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
The detection area is factory-set to “25%”.
Position the WHITE BAL switch at [PRST].
This adjusts the white balance for the filter according to the
position of the CC/ND FILTER control.
When the white balance has not been successfully adjusted,
the viewfinder displays an error message.
If one of the error messages listed below appears, take the
appropriate steps, then adjust the white balance again.
If the error message appears after repeated readjustments,
the interior of the unit must be inspected. For more
information, contact your distributor.
Each value in memory is retained even if the unit is turned
off; it will not be lost until the white balance is re-adjusted.
White balances are stored in either of two systems: A or B.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “ON” (default),
each system stores only one value. If this is the case, the
values are not synchronized with the filters.
This option can be found in the <WHITE BALANCE MODE>
screen on the CAM OPERATION page.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “OFF”, the
adjusted value for each filter can be automatically stored in
the memory that corresponds to the position of the WHITE
BAL switch ([A] or [B]). Your unit has 4 built-in filters; it stores
8(42) adjusted values.
