To obtain images with a natural color balance, carry out white balance
adjustment in the following cases. The adjustment setting is preserved for
about ten years, even when the unit is powered off.
• When using the camera for the first time
• When the lighting conditions change
This system keeps separate white balance settings for the still images
captured to memory and the live image output to the monitor.
Adjusting the white balance for still images
After setting up the lighting, use the following procedure.
1
Press the MENU button on the remote controller to access the main
menu, and make the following settings.
• Select the PICTURE menu, and set “C-TEMP” to “AWB” (this is the
factory default setting).
• Select the FLASH menu, and if using a flash, set the “FLASH” item
to “ON” (this is the factory default setting). Next select the flash
interval with the “INTERVAL” item.
If not using a flash, set the “FLASH” item to “OFF.”
