White Balance White Balance The camcorder uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and produce accurate colors under different lighting conditions. There are 4 methods of setting the white balance. You can also perform this function remotely using Browser Remote on a connected network device (A 164, 67 169). Auto white balance (AWB): The camcorder automatically adjusts the white balance to the optimal level. Preset white balance: Set the white balance to ¼ (daylight) or É (tungsten lamp). You can further adjust the color temperature (K) value and the color compensation (CC) value, which adjusts the color along the green/ magenta gradation. Color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature between 2,000 K and 15,000 K, and further adjust the color compensation (CC) value. Custom white balance: You can use a gray card or white object with no pattern to establish the white balance and set it to one of two custom white balance positions, ÅA or ÅB. When recording under fluorescent lights, we recommend using auto white balance or setting a custom white balance. Operating modes: Available white balance modes by WHITE BAL. switch position White balance mode WHITE BAL. switch position B A Preset white balance - - Color temperature - - Custom white balance Ü Ü PRESET Ü Ü - NOTES • When the camcorder is set to full auto mode, the white balance will be adjusted automatically (AWB). When infrared recording is activated, the white balance cannot be adjusted. • The [White Balance] and [Color Matrix Tuning] settings in the custom picture file (A 129) take precedence over the white balance set with these procedures. • You can use the > [v " Camera Setup] > [Shockless WB] setting to make the change in the image look smoother when you change white balance settings. • When an optional RC-V100 Remote Controller is connected to the camcorder, you can adjust the white balance with the remote controller's AWB button, A button, B button, PRESET button and Å button. • The color temperatures displayed on the screen are approximate. Use them only as a reference.
