White balance adjustment
White balance adjustment
In order for the white to be reproduced accurately, the ratio 
between the three primary colors (RGB) is adjusted. If the 
white balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the 
white be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire 
screen will also be degraded.
   This adjustment m ust be perf
 ormed when using the 
unit for the first time or when the unit has not been 
used for a prolonged period.
    It m ust be performed when the lighting conditions or 
brightness has c
 hanged.
The white balance can be adjusted automatically or 
manually (when it is to be adjusted finely following the 
automatic adjustment).
In addition, it is possible to select preset values and 
the “Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)” function, 
which continues to constantly adjust the white balance 
automatically.
The results of the white balance adjustment can be stored 
in two memories, A and B, when “AWC A” or “AWC B” has 
been selected for the white balance.
    Once the white balance has been adjusted when the 
unit is used with the same settings and under the same 
conditions , its setting is completed simply b

y selecting a 
menu setting or pressing a button on the controller. There 
is no need to set it again.
    Once a ne w setting is entered, the pre
 vious setting will be 
erased.
Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to 
different shooting conditions.
   Automatic adjustment (AWC: AWC A or 
AWC B)
1   Shoot a white subject (such as a white 
wall or handkerchief) so that it fills the 
screen.
   Do not shoot shiny or very bright objects.
When performing the operations using the 
accessory wireless remote control
   Steps 2 through 7 represent the procedure for selecting 
the “AWC A” or “AWC B” memory. They need not be taken 
if a selection has already been made.
2    Set the shooting mode following the 
steps in “Selecting the shooting modes 
(scene files)” (page 19) .
    At this time, keep the “Mode Set” sub-menu on the

adjustment is completed successfully. Its lamp lights if 
the white balance could not be adjusted.
   
  If color bars ha v

or [BAR/CAM] button’s lamp lights) or if ATW is 
selected (the [ATW] button’s lamp lights), it means 
that the [AWC] button is not working or that the auto 
white balance adjustment has failed. (The button’s 
lamp lights.)  
  White balance ma y not be correctly set if the lighting 
of the object is too w
 eak.
    Since the camer a has a b
 uilt-in memory, the set 
white balance will remain in the memory even if 
power is turned off. Therefore, it is not necessary to 
reset the white balance if the color temperature of 
those objects remains unchanged. However, it must 
be reset if the color temperature changes, such as 
when you move from indoors to outside, or vice 
versa.
    When the camer a is used alone
 , red/blue gain 
adjustment of painting setting will be automatically 
reset to ±0 after setting the white balance. (painting 
setting in only User Mode.)
Notes
 Auto tracking white adjustment (ATW)
When the white balance adjustment is set to “ATW”, the 
white balance continues to be adjusted automatically all 
the time, and it is automatically corrected even when the 
light source or color temperature has changed to produce 
completely natural pictures.
This function works when “ATW” is selected instead of 
“AWC A” or “AWC B” by following the steps for “Automatic 
adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 31).
    ATW might not function properly when high 
br
 ightness light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a 
screen.
   
White balance ma y not be accur
 ately set if there is 
no white object in the scene being shot.
    The white balance ma y shift out of adjustment when 
a diff
 erent kind of light source such as sunlight or 
fluorescent lighting applies.
Notes
 3200K and 5600K presets
When “300K” or “5600K” is selected for the white balance, 
the white balance is set using a color temperature of 3,00K 
(equivalent to halogen light) or 5,600K (equivalent to 
daylight), respectively.
This function w orks when 

“300K” or “5600K” is selected 
instead of “AWC A” or “AWC B” by following the steps for 
“Automatic adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” 
(page  31).
