To calibrate the camera and use the automated capabilities:
1. Ensure that Auto White Balance (the AUTO button under W BAL) is off.

the calibration to work properly.
3. Press OPWB. When the Universal CCU completes the calibration and color balance adjustment, the
reference object appears white in the image.
4. After the calibration and adjustment is complete, press the Auto White Balance button.
To adjust color manually:
1. Adjust the Chroma level to taste, so the colors are neither too intense nor too gray.
2. Adjust the red and blue levels. Adjusting for skin tones or using a color chart is an easy way to find a
good baseline setup.
