Adjustments and Settings for Recording :
Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance
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, which is accessible from 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 camera-
recorder 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 synchronised with the filters.
This option can be found in the <WHITE BALANCE
MODE> screen, which is accessible from 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 four built-in filters; it
stores eight (4
a
2) adjusted values.
When the S. GAIN (super gain) function is activated, the
AWB switch does not function and the value set for PRST
is used.
The unit has an auto-tracking white balance (ATW) feature
that automatically tracks the white balance for pictures
according to lighting conditions.
The ATW feature can be assigned to Position [B] of the
WHITE BAL switch. To do so, the menu option AWB B
must be set to “ATW”. This option can be found in the
<WHITE BALANCE MODE> screen, which is accessible
from the CAM OPERATION page.
The ATW feature may be assigned to the USER MAIN,
USER1, or USER2 button. For more information, see
[
Assigning Functions to USER MAIN, USER1 and USER2
Press the user button that has the ATW feature assigned,
or change the position of the WHITE BAL switch. Note
that, when the ATW feature is assigned to [B] of the
WHITE BAL switch, the auto-tracking white balance
cannot be cancelled with a user button.
Note
This function does not guarantee 100% accuracy of the
white balance.
When using the unit, remember that there will be some
allowance in the trackability of changes in lighting
conditions and pull-in accuracy of white balances.
