White balance adjustment
In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio
between the three primary colours (RGB) is adjusted. If the
white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the
white be reproduced poorly but the colour tones of the entire
screen will also be degraded.
w
p
This adjustment must be performed when using the
unit for the first time or when the unit has not been
used for a prolonged period.
w
p
It must be performed when the lighting conditions or
brightness has changed.
Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which
initiates automatic adjustment when the AWB button on the
controller has been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking
white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the
white balance can be selected for adjustment purposes.
The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two
memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been
selected for the white balance.

p
Once the white balance has been adjusted when the
unit is used with the same settings and under the same
conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a
menu setting or pressing a button on the controller.
There is no need to set it again.
w
p
Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be
erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to
different shooting conditions.
