Color temperature and adjustment of white balance

When carbon is burnt, it develops various colors of light
depending on the temperature. Natural light can be
specified by color temperature referring to the color
developed when carbon is burnt.
The light of 3 200K (K=Kelvin, −273C equals to abso­lute zero temperature 0K) represents the same value
(color) as what develops when carbon is burnt at
3 200K (2 927C). The relationship between the color
temperature of the light source and weather condition is
indicated in the right figure. Let’s study the difference
of shooting an indoor object from shooting one out­doors. Studios are usually lighted with incandescent
lamps and the color temperature of a white object in a
studio is around 3 000K. The color temperature of a
white object outdoors is around 6 500 K. The former
may look a little yellowish while the latter appears
somewhat bluish when they are shot by a camera.
However, the human eye does not recognize color dif­ferences among these objects even under different
ambient lighting conditions, because of their adaptabili­ty to light. The video camera reproduces color differ­ences with high fidelity and the color of an object some­what different from what appears to the human eye.

Therefore, there is a need to adjust the white balance in
order to correct differences between color tempera­tures.

NOTE: Color temperature outdoors may vary depend-

ing on weather conditions.

ADJUSTMENT

-21-

■ AUTOMATIC WHITE BALANCE

CONTROL (AWC)

There are two white balance memories, “AWC A” or
“AWC B” for two different light sources color tempera­tures, with the automatic white balance setting. Then,
when the two different light sources are encountered,
you may operate the camera properly by simply
change the white balance mode to either AWC A or
AWC B. There is no need to readjust the camera to the
ambient conditions.

* The preset conditions will be renewed whenever

you input new conditions.

1. Turn the white balance selection switch to either
“AWC A” or “AWC B” of RCU or select the white
balance mode either AWC A or AWC B by menu.

2. Aim the camera at a white object (a white wall or a
white handkerchief) and zoom in to enlarge the
image as much as possible.

[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]

3. In normal shooting mode:
Press the Item/AWC switch for over 2 second.

[ADJUSTMENT with the RCU (RCB, Hybrid control
panel)]

4. When the AUTO set switch is turned to AWC, the
white balance will be automatically set. While the
system is being set, auto warning indicator (LED)
blinks and it goes out when the white balance set­ting is completed. If the lamp remains lit, the set­ting must be tried again.

Notes:

• For white balance setting aim the camera at a
white object and try to position it in the center of
the monitor screen. The object must appear in
over 10 % of the total monitor screen area. Try
to avoid overly bright objects in the scene.

• White balance may not be correctly set if the
lighting of the object is too weak.

• Since the camera has a built-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 camera is used without a RCU or
RCB red/blue gain adjustment of painting set­ting will be automatically reset to ±0 after set­ting the white balance. (painting setting in only
USER MODE.)

■ AUTOMATIC TRACKING WHITE

BALANCE SETTING (ATW)

White balance will be automatically set to continuously
match changes of light source and color temperature
while the white balance setting is set to ATW.
Note: White balance may not be accurately set if there

is no white object in the scene being shot.

■ MANUAL WHITE BALANCE SETTING

[ADJUSTMENT by CAMERA]
Manual setting is possible in USER MODE only.

1. Select the white balance mode either AWC A or
AWC B by menu.

2. Aim the camera at a large white object. Press the
Item/AWC switch for over 2 second.

3. Adjust the red gain/blue gain control in the PAINT­ING item of Color Set sub menu of USER MODE
until the carrier wave of the white portion of the
video signal is at the minimum width or the white
object in the monitor screen appears pure white.
(Use an oscilloscope or a waveform monitor for pre­cise adjustment.)

[ADJUSTMENT with the RCU (RCB)]
After AWC setting, adjust the R/B GAIN controller in the
same way as described in Step 3 above.

The white object must occupy over
10 % of the monitor screen area.

-23-

■ RESET TO 3 200K OR 5 600K WHITE

BALANCE

When the white balance setting is set to either “P SET
3 200K” or “P SET 5 600K” the white balance will be
automatically set to the color temperature 3 200K or
5 600K, respectively.

■ BLACK BALANCE ADJUSTMENT

• Close the lens.
If the motor drive lens is controlled from the cam­era, the lens is automatically closed when the black
