[Auto] Performs automatic control with both smart shade control function and exposure compensation functions to prevent blocked up under-exposure and over-exposure. [Smart Shade Control Level] When [Smart Shade Control] is set to [Manual], set a compensation level. Note • The video data size increases if you set [Auto] or [Manual] for [Smart Shade Control]. • Screen noise may increase if you set [Smart Shade Control] to [Manual] and the control level to strong. Set the control level to mild to reduce the noise. [White Balance] Select the white balance according to the light source to achieve natural color in the video. Important • When the subject has only one color, is under low light conditions, or when sodium lamps, mercury lamps or certain other fluorescent lighting is used, [Auto] may not adjust colors appropriately. • If [Auto] is set, and the subject appears greenish under mercury lamps, select [Mercury Lamp]. If the colors of the screen are not appropriate under a mercury lamp even when you select [Mercury Lamp], select [Manual] and use [One-shot WB]. • Since the light source selection options are based on representative characteristics, appropriate colors may not be achieved depending on the available light source. If this occurs, select [Manual] and use the [One-shot WB]. [Auto] Automatically adjusts the white balance. [Manual] Operate [One-shot WB], [R Gain], and [B Gain] to manually set the white balance. [Daylight Fluorescent] (approx. 6,100K - 6,600K) Select this when capturing under a daylight fluorescent lamp. [White Fluorescent] (approx. 4,100K - 5,000K) Select this when capturing under a daylight fluorescent lamp or white fluorescent lamp. [Warm Fluorescent] (approx. 2,500K - 3,000K) Select this when capturing under a warm fluorescent lamp. [Mercury Lamp] (approx. 4,300K) Select this when capturing under a mercury lamp. [Sodium Lamp] (approx. 2,000K) Select this when capturing under an orange sodium lamp. [Halogen Lamp] (approx. 2,700K - 3,200K) Select this when capturing under a halogen lamp or incandescent lamp. [One-shot WB] If you set white balance to [Manual], this will force the white balance to match the light source and lock the setting. Setting Method Example: Illuminate a white subject (white paper, etc.) using the light source, making sure the subject fills the entire screen, and then click [Exec]. [R Gain] If you set white balance to [Manual], set the Red gain values. [B Gain] If you set white balance to [Manual], set the Blue gain values. Setting Page 5 117
