Figure 19. Gain Settings Checkbox Cleared

If the camera has a high gain setting it takes longer to  balance the channel. Channel Balance may not 
work properly if a high-speed shutter is used under a low-frequency light, such as a fluorescent light. 

3.4.4  Offset Level 

The Channel A offset level is the master,  channel B is the slave. The offset level box, shown in 
Figure 20, allows you to change Channel A offset voltage. To change the value, click on the up or 
down arrow, or enter the value directly into the box. The camera itself automatically adjusts Channel 
B offset voltage, every other frame.
