SelfCalibration function
• The built-in calibration sensor enables the monitor to calibrate itself by using SelfCalibration.
By setting the calibration targets and execution schedule in advance, the calibration sensor
automatically operates and regularly calibrates the monitor. This function can be used with Color
Management Software "ColorNavigator 7" to calibrate monitor characteristics and generate color
profiles.
You can set the calibration targets and execution schedule by using software (ColorNavigator 7) or
the monitor's Setting menu.
You can check for the result of the SelfCalibration adjustment by using the monitor's Color menu.
See
“Chapter 3 SelfCalibration” (page 15).
