e) Setting function “WHITE BAL”
The camera provides various options as to how the white balance is achieved. Thereby, it can be
individually adjusted to the most widely varied light ratios and ambient conditions.
As a rule, it suf
fi
ces to select the automatic white balance (setting “ATW”), and there the only
setting is where the camera is mounted (“OUTDOOR” = outside, “INDOOR” = inside).
However, if necessary, it can be set by a specialist for special applications.
Many white balance functions have further submenus that are displayed when you press the
button.
“ATW”
Automatic white balance (default): Sunlight, incandescent lights,
fl
uorescent lights, etc. have various colour temperatures. The
automatic white balance ensures that white objects are correctly
displayed on the connected monitor.
“SPEED”: Speed for the white balance
“DELAY CNT”: Delay value for the white balance
“ATW FRAME”: Colour temperature range for white balance; the
smaller the value, the smaller the colour temperature range
“ENVIRONMENT”: depending on where the camera is installed,
select “OUTDOOR” for outdoors or “INDOOR” for indoors
“MANUAL”
“LEVEL”:
Simultaneous change of the colour levels for blue and red
in relation to green
“ANTI CR”
Automatic white balance, but with limited colour temperature
range (this setting should be selected if wandering colour bars
appear in the image)
“USER1”, “USER2”
“B-GAIN”: Colour matching for blue
“R-GAIN”: Colour matching for red
Green is automatically adjusted depending on blue and red, so no
manual adjustment is required here.
“PUSH”
Does not apply to this camera model.
“PUSH LOCK”
White balance on the basis of a reference object; direct the camera
toward a white object so that the camera image is completely
fi
lled
by it. Then press the button; that carries out the white adjustment
and stores it in the camera.
