Selecting the settings for a selected remote camera
Setting the white balance
The ratio between RGB (three primary colours) is adjusted
so that white will be reproduced accurately.
If the white balance is off, not only will white be reproduced
poorly but the colour tone of the entire picture will also
deteriorate.
The white balance must be adjusted when using a remote
camera for the first time or when the remote camera has
not been used for a prolonged period of time. It must also
be adjusted when changes have been made in the lighting
conditions or brightness.
The white balance can be adjusted automatically or
manually (fine adjustment after automatic adjustment).
In addition, preset values or the “auto tracking white
adjustment (ATW)” which continues to adjust the white
balance automatically all the time can be selected.
The results of white balance adjustments can be stored
in memory A or memory B when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has
been selected for the white balance.
