Operation
White balance adjustment
The white balance must be adjusted when the equipment is used for the first time, when it
has not been used for a prolonged time or when the lighting conditions or brightness has
changed.
The white balance conditions can be entered in advance into channels A and B.
If the equipment is to be used under conditions which are identical to the entered settings,
it means that no further adjustment need be undertaken since the white balance will be set
simply by pressing the WHITE BAL A button or B button once the white balance has been
adjusted.
When the white balance is adjusted again, the previously entered settings will be deleted
and replaced by the new conditions.
Automatic adjustment of white balance
1. Select the pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL button.
2. Shoot a white object (such as a white wall or handkerchief) to fill the whole screen
using the pan/tilt head system currently selected.
Do not allow shiny, reflective or very bright objects to appear on the screen.
3. Press the WHITE BAL A button, and press the AWC button. The AWC button’s lamp
flashes, and the white balance is automatically adjusted. Once the adjustment has been
performed correctly, the lamp goes off, and the conditions set are entered in channel A.
The AWC button’s lamp will remain lit if it was not possible for the adjustment to be
performed. In this case, change the brightness, iris, object, light source, etc., and
perform the adjustment again.
The AWC button’s lamp goes off even if the white balance adjustment was not
performed correctly in cases where a pan/tilt head system other than the
AW-PH350, AW-PH360 or AW-PH650 is being used.
4. Similarly, enter the conditions set for channel B using the WHITE BAL B button.
5. Select the next pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL button, and continue
adjusting the white balance in each system concerned.
