Panasonic AW-UE100 Operating Instructions - Page 43

White balance adjustment Adjust the ratio between the three primary colors (RGB) to reproduce white accurately. If the white balance is out of adjustment, not only will white be reproduced poorly, but the color tones of the screen as a whole will also be degraded. • Perform adjustment when using the unit for the first time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged period. • Perform adjustment when the lighting conditions or brightness changes. Either "AWB" (automatic white balance adjustment) which initiates automatic adjustment when the button on the controller has been pressed or "ATW" (automatic tracking white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the white balance can be selected for adjustment purposes. The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two memories, A and B, when [AWB A] or [AWB B] has been selected for the white balance. • Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their setup procedure will be completed simply by selecting them using the camera menus or Web setup screen [Setup], or by pressing the buttons on the controller, provided that they are going to be used under the same conditions as the ones established when the values were set. There is no need to set it again. • Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased. • White balance adjustment is not possible in night mode. • The white balance cannot be adjusted during preset playback. Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different shooting conditions. • After adjusting the white balance, and [Serial] or [IP] of [Tracking Data Output] is set to [On], the tracking data output may be delayed or the value may not be updated.
