Chroma Level [–3 to +3]
Set here is the color intensity (chroma level) of the
images.
White Balance Mode
[ATW, AWB A, AWB B, 3200K, 5600K, VAR]
The white balance mode is selected here.
Select the mode when the coloring is not natural because
of the nature of the light source or other factors.
If the white color serving as the reference can be
recognized, subjects can be shot with natural coloring.
ATW: This mode automatically corrects the white balance,
even if the light source or color temperature
changes.
AWB A, AWB B:
When AWB A or AWB B is selected and the
white balance is executed, the adjustment results
obtained are stored in the memory selected.
When AWB A or AWB B is then selected, the white
balance stored in the selected memory can be
recalled.
3200K:
This white balance mode is ideal when a 3200K
halogen light is used as the light source.
5600K:
This white balance mode is ideal when 5600K
sunlight or fluorescent lighting is used as the light
source.
VAR: Specify a color temperature from 2400K to 9900K.
Color Temperature [2400K to 9900K]
Specify a color temperature from 2400K to 9900K (in
increments of about 100K).
This is enabled when White Balance Mode is set to “VAR”.
R Gain, B Gain [ – 30 to +30]
When “AWB A”, “AWB B” or “VAR” is selected as the White
Balance Mode setting, the white balance can be finely
adjusted after automatic white balance (AWB) has been
performed.
●
When automatic white balance (AWB) is executed,
the R Gain and B Gain values are returned to “0”.
●
When “AWB A”, “AWB B” or “VAR” is selected as
the White Balance Mode setting, the R Gain and
B Gain adjustment values can be stored in the three
memories, A, B and VAR.
●
When new values are set, the previous values are
erased.
Use each of the memories for a different purpose in
accordance with the shooting conditions.
●
R Gain and B Gain adjustments cannot be
performed when White Balance Mode is set to
“ATW”, “3200K”, or “5600K”.
Notes
Pedestal [–10 to +10]
This item is used to adjust the black level (adjust the
pedestal) so that the dark parts of the images are easier
to see.
These parts become darker when a negative setting is
selected and, conversely, lighter when a positive setting is
selected.
