White balance
(DCAM, FireWire-CAM-x12H only): U/R (red/green)
and V/B (green/blue) influence the red and blue portions of the
picture. You can therefore set the camera to the applied light to
achieve a color-neutral impression. In most cases the automatic white
balance is the preferable setting. For color evaluation tasks, the
automatic white balance must be shut off.
In manual operation both parameters can be linked to quickly find an
initial setting. Depending on the lighting, some fine tuning may be
required. To do this the parameter link must be broken.
There are two possibilities for the automatic mode. If
Auto
is selected,
the white balance is carried out continuously. However, if you click
on the button
One push white balance
, you will trigger off only a
single adaption process.
You can shut off this function if it is not required.
