WHITE BALANCE
There are seven modes available for determining how your camera processes and displays color:
ATW
- Automatic Tracking White Balance. This is the default the camera constantly analyses and adjusts to create a neutral white
balance. Colors may be slightly underexposed but generally accurate. Several settings can be modified, but the most significant is the
Environment setting which adjusts the white balance based on the light source. Daylight generally has a bluish tint while indoor light-
ing will tend towards yellow (light bulbs) or green (fluorescent).
PUSH
- Working in a narrower band of lighting - 2300K-10000K
- it may over-compensate the white balance if the field of view
includes a large, single-colored object. However, it is the preferred
mode for areas illuminated by halogen lights.
USER1
&
USER2
- These are user defined modes The blue and
red gains can be adjusted.
ANTI CR
- (Anti Color Rolling) Reduces color rolling in areas illumi-
nated by fluorescent lights.
MANUAL
- Adjust the setting from 0-255 to best suit your personal preference.
PUSH LOCK
- Locks in the white balance at its current level. This can be set by holding a piece of white paper in front of the
camera. Pushing the multi-function button will then establish the white balance. Use this when the lighting is constantly changing or
the area surrounding the object under observation is over- or under-lit
BACKLIGHT
This allows the camera to compensate for lighting coming from behind the subject as well as bright light sources within the image.
Backlight compensation can be left turned off, turned on (BLC) or set to Highlight Compensation (HLC) which masks overly bright light
sources in the image, making certain features easier to make out.

PICTURE ADJUST
This setting allows you to adjust the way the picture is displayed on your screen. Changes made will not affect what the camera
captures. You can adjust brightness, contrast, sharpness, hue and gain with values from 0-255. You can also flip the image
horizontally using the
Mirror
setting.
ATR
Adaptive Tone-curve Reproduction (ATR) attempts to show details in both the well-lit and shaded areas simultaneously for a more
complete view. When enabled, both luminance and contrast can be adjusted to produce a more balanced image.
