White Balance
1. AUTO: Automatic white balance balances the video output
based on a reading taken from the whitest portion of a scene.
One of the other options may be preferred if the scene
contains no white, or if the camera is slowly panned across
such a scene.
2. INDR: Indoor balances the camera for a scene illuminated by
incandescent lighting.
3. OTDR: Outdoor balances the camera for sunlight.
4. MAN: In Manual, the operator can set the gains of the Red
(RD) and Blue (BL) channels, using the multifunction
control, to achieve the desired balance. As with Gain, the
numbers shown are relative indications only.
Electronic Zoom
The image size of the video output can be adjusted using the
ZOOM feature. As with Gain, the numbers are only relative.
The overall zoom range is about 2:1.
Aspect Ratio
When using a normal lens, the ASP 4/3 option will produce a
normal video image on all outputs. The MORPHIC option
compensates for an anamorphic taking lens on the film
camera.
Image Reversal
The last item on this menu allows the selection of NORMAL
(right-reading) or REVERS (top-to-bottom inverted) video
output.
