emitted from different light sources.
Illumination is generally referred to as color tem-
perature, which is represented in a measurement of kelvin (K).
From the main menu, scroll to WHITE BAL and select one of the 4 following modes
using the Left or Right buttons.
►
AUTO (1,800°K ~ 10,500°K)
Select this to automatically readjust the white balance each time a change in
the ambient color temperature is detected.
►
AWC-SET
↵
Select this to find the optimal luminance level for the current environment,
point the camera towards a sheet of white paper, then press and hold the joystick
IN. Contine holding the joystick IN until the text stops flashing.
►
MANUAL
Select this to fine-tune white balance manually. Color Temp (°Kelvin) and Red/
Blue gain values are adjustable.
NOTICE
• WHITE BALANCE may not work properly under the following conditions:
1. When the color temperature of the environment surrounding the subject is
out of the control range (ie. clear sky or sunset).
2. When the ambient illumination of the subject is dim.
3. If the camera is directed towards a fluorescent light or is installed in a place
where illumination changes dramatically, the WHITE BALANCE operation may
become unstable.
