Adjusting the white shading, Shooting – JVC GY-HM700U User Manual

You need to adjust white shading when you change the lens.
Even if white balance is adjusted in the center of the screen,
the top and bottom of the screen may not be adjusted.
In this case, green and yellow colors may appear on the screen.
This is due to the characteristic of the lens. Correcting this
phenomena is known as white shading adjustment.
Perform this adjustment after adjusting the white balance.
1
Fill the monitor screen with a pattern box of uniform light
source or white (plain) paper shone with uniform lighting.
2
Set the control of the camera lens as follows.
A
Set the aperture to F4 or more such that the iris achieves
optimum brightness.
If the brightness is insufficient even at F4, set to the
optimum brightness by increasing the lighting.
B
When using zoom lens, set to the center of the zoom
adjustment range.
3
Adjust the white balance of the camera recorder.

and bottom of the screen.

or vice versa, continue this adjustment.

zoom lens at the telephoto or wide angle end.)
● White shading occurs as a result of the optical characteristic
of the attached lens. This is not a camera malfunction.
