White Balance
This feature adjusts the color balance of the camera to
ensure that a white subject appears white in the video
image. Both manual and automatic settings are
available.
There are two automatic white balance modes; Auto
White Balance and One Push White Balance.
In the Auto White Balance mode, the camera senses
any change in lighting and automatically adjusts White
Balance accordingly. In the One Push White Balance
mode, the White Balance is adjusted automatically
once and fixed until you perform the adjustment again.
The camera’s internal circuits integrate the image data
within a defined area, using an algorithm that
approximates the average value to white. Because of
this algorithm, depending on the lighting environment,
a white subject may appear other than white in the
Auto White Balance mode.
We recommend that you shoot a white subject so that
white fills the entire screen in the specified lighting
environment and then perform the One Push White
Balance adjustment. When the calculation is
completed, the White Balance in this lighting
environment is adjusted.
The range of operation of each mode is as follows.
Manual : 2400 to 10000 K or more
Auto/One Push Auto: 2400 to 10000 K or more
Additionally, the camera employs a feature which can
change the reference point of the White Balance. For
details, see “PAINT” on page 14.
