VSM-100 Quick Start Guide
Black and White Balance Adjustment (VECTORSCOPE)
1. Aim the camera at a solid white background or white reference card.
2. Turn on any set lights and ensure any coloured filters are removed. We want an evenly lit white reference card
or background with only true white light.
3. Select VECTORSCOPE mode on the VSM-100 using the NEXT MODE option.
4. Use the camera’s auto white balance feature to white balance against the solid white background or reference
white card.
5. If necessary adjust R (Red) or B (Blue) GAIN of the camera to move the shown sample points for white video
into the center graticule box of the VSM-100 Vectorscope.
Correctly centered samples
Incorrect points towards blue
6. Once white balancing is complete cap the camera lens to produce black video. The sample points should only
appear in the same center graticule box of the VSM-100 Vectorscope
7. If necessary adjust R (Red) or B (Blue) GAIN of the camera to move the shown sample points for black video
into the center graticule box of the VSM-100 Vectorscope.
8. Remove the lens cap and continue to Luminance Adjustment.
