4 SelfCalibration
This product is equipped with a built-in calibration sensor. By setting the calibration targets
and execution schedule in advance, the calibration sensor automatically operates and
regularly calibrates the monitor. This automatic calibration function is called
"SelfCalibration".
The adjustment content of SelfCalibration differs depending on the color mode that is
executed.
• Standard Mode (color modes excluding "CAL"):
the monitor's color reproduction gamut is updated and the display mode in each mode is
adjusted as follows.
– The temperature is adjusted so that it is as close as possible to the standard value.
– The color gamut values are adjusted so that they are close to each standard value.
– Information on brightness is updated.
• Advanced Mode (color mode "CAL"):
– When performing SelfCalibration on the monitor itself, calibrate the monitor to match
the set targets.
– When using ColorNavigator 7, use a measurement device with the software to
maintain the calibrated state of the monitor.
Attention
• Touching the internal calibration sensor can affect its measurement accuracy.
– Do not touch the sensor during use.
• Large changes in the amount of ambient light entering the internal calibration sensor light
receiver can affect measurement accuracy.
– Calibration is best done in a darkened room.
– Do not put your face or objects close to the monitor, or look into the sensor, during
measurement.
– Installation of a monitor hood is recommended.
• High temperatures or humidity levels can affect the measurement accuracy of the internal
calibration sensor.
The monitor is best used in the following environment.
– Temperature: 30˚C or below
– Humidity: 70% or below
• Avoid using in direct sunlight.
Note
• SelfCalibration can be executed 30 minutes after turning on the monitor.
• SelfCalibration can also be executed when there are no external device signals being input.
• To preserve adjustments that you set by using ColorNavigator 7, it is recommended to execute
SelfCalibration.
• Because brightness and chromaticity will change as you use the monitor, it is recommended to
calibrate the monitor periodically.
• The measurement results from the built-in calibration sensor can be correlated with the
measurement results from the external measurement device that you want to use as a reference.
For details, refer to the ColorNavigator 7 User's Manual.
You can set the calibration targets and execution schedule by using ColorNavigator 7 or the
monitor's Setting menu.
