WHITE BALANCE
Options: ATW, 3200K, 4200K, 6300K, PUSH, HOLD, USER (Colour Cameras Only)
There are seven colour balance modes. For the majority of applications, the ATW (Auto-
tracing white balance mode) setting will provide excellent colour rendition. This mode
analyses the colour content of the scene and automatically applies the necessary values to
balance it.
For applications where the illumination is predominantly daylight, the 6300K (fixed) setting
may provide improved colour rendition over ATW. Where a mixture of illuminations such as
tungsten, fluorescent and daylight exist, the 3200K (fixed) setting may provide the best
colour rendition. Where fluorescent lighting is predominant use the 4200K (fixed) setting.
The PUSH setting is similar to ATW, with the difference being that PUSH is not limited in its
colour temperature range frame. This means that the PUSH setting can balance colour
temperatures that would normally be out of the range of the ATW setting. However, this can
lead to a slight loss in chrominance in certain conditions.
The HOLD setting is used set a fixed colour balance after the PUSH operation has ended.
This setting is fundamentally the same as using the fixed white balance settings (i.e., 3200K,
4200K, 6300K). However, this setting allows the installer a unlimited range to set an
appropriate fixed colour balance for a particular scene. This may mean that the colour
rendition can be improved by using this setting.
The USER setting, when selected, will open the WHITE BALANCE menu shown above.
This menu allows you to set the Red and Blue components of the scene separately.
The factory default setting is ATW.
