ON/OFF/CHECK/HIDE MENU switch
Make sure that the camera power ON/OFF switch is set to ON. Move the ON/OFF/CHECK/HIDE MENU
switch on the Integrated Video System to the ON position. The ON LED will light up.
To display a summary of all menu choices while the on-screen menu is not visible, push the
ON/OFF/CHECK/HIDE MENU switch all the way down.
To temporarily hide the on-screen menu while it is visible, push the ON/OFF/CHECK/HIDE MENU switch all
the way down. This is useful to check the image while making adjustments in the on-screen menu.
White balance
Press the WHITE BAL. button to cycle through the four white balance settings:
OUTDOOR 5600° K when the illumination is daylight or HMI and no colour conversion filter is used.
INDOOR 3200° K when the illumination is tungsten and no colour conversion filter is used.
AUTO automatic white balance.
MAN manual white balance as defined in the WB/GAIN sub-menu.
Controlling image brightness
It is recommended to set the video lens iris fully open to allow the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to work best
over many f-stops. Adjust the iris with the IRIS wheel of the Studio Integrated Video System.
Since the Automatic Gain Control averages the image brightness, in some lighting situations e.g. strong back
light or if the video image is still too dark, the Manual Gain Control will yield a better video image.
