Settings check
ISO, White Balance and Browse settings should be checked be-
fore each session. They are therefore placed at the top level of the
menu for quick and easy access. They are also shown on-screen
in most preview modes, so you can easily keep an eye on them
as your work.
ISO
The ISO setting can be made using the ISO
/
WB button on the
grip or on the sensor unit. The 'natural' sensitivity of the CCD is
ISO 100, so you will get best results with this setting if the light
conditions allow.
To set the ISO on the grip:
The ISO/WB button provides immediate access to ISO settings.
The front control wheel is used to make the desired changes. The
settings are automatically and simultaneously transferred from
the camera to the sensor unit. Please note that the changes are
only displayed on the sensor unit when the settings have been
saved.
1) Press the
ISO/WB
button on the grip.
2) To make an
ISO
setting, turn the front control wheel to select
the desired rating.
3) Press
SAVE
(
ISO/WB
button) to save the setting.
To set the ISO on the sensor unit
1. Choose
MENU > ISO
. This is the top item of the top menu,
so it will be selected by default when you enter the menu sys-
tem.
2. Use the zoom (
–
or
+
) buttons to step through the avail-
able ISO settings until the setting you want is shown.
3. Press the menu button to exit the menu system and keep the
setting.
White balance / Grey balance setting
There are several ways to make a white/grey balance setting
adjustment. When untethered on location you might prefer to
make a quick preset adjustment setting at the same time that
you check the ISO and Media settings. Tethered in the studio you
might prefer to take the first shot of a grey card/scale and make
the adjustment in Phocus for that session. In addition, you might
want to assign the User Button as a rapid white balance check in
a mixed lighting situation.
A white balance setting can be made either on the grip or on the
sensor unit. Changes made on one are recorded and displayed
on the other.
