Preset memories

This unit enables up to 100 settings for the camera direction (panning and tilting), zoom, focus, iris, gain and white balance to be registered in its preset memories, and called. However, the number of settings that can be registered and called depends on the type of wireless remote control or controller that is used for operation.

The focus and iris operating modes (manual and auto settings) are neither registered nor recalled.

The current focus and iris values are registered.

The focus and iris values can be recalled only when the manual settings are applicable.

For the white balance, the current White Balance Mode adjustment values are registered. If a preset value

is recalled when AWB A or AWB B is selected, the adjustment value selected when it was registered as a preset will be recalled.

The White Balance Mode (ATW, AWB A or AWB B) stored using the AW-RP655 are recalled only when the AW-RP655 is connected.

Notes

When there is a large difference in the environmental temperature between the time of registration and the time the setting is called, displacement of the preset position may occur.

If displacement occurs, perform registration again.When a manual operation is performed for pan, tilt, zoom, focus or iris during preset recall, the preset

operation for the pan, tilt, zoom, focus or iris operation concerned will be aborted.

If another preset has been recalled during an ongoing preset recall, the preset being recalled is aborted, and operation for the preset called last is performed instead.

Adjustment

21

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 must be performed when using the unit for the first time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.

It must be performed when the lighting conditions or brightness has changed.

Either AWB (automatic white balance adjustment) which initiates automatic adjustment when the AWB button on the controller has been pressed or ATW (automatic tracking white balance adjustment) which constantly adjusts the white balance can be selected for adjustment purposes.

The results of the AWB adjustment can be stored in two memories, A and B, when “AWB A” or “AWB B” has been selected for the white balance.

Once the white balance values have been adjusted, their setup procedure will be completed simply by selecting them using the camera menus or web settings, or by pressing the buttons on the controller, provided that they are going to be used under the same conditions as the ones established when the values were set.

There is no need to set it again.

Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be erased.

Use the two memories to store settings corresponding to different shooting conditions.

White balance adjustment (continued)

When the AW-RP50 is connected:

Refer to the Operating Instructions of the controller.

Notes

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

Since the unit 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.

3200K and 5600K presets

When “3200K” or “5600K” is selected for the white balance, the white balance is set using a color temperature of 3200K (equivalent to halogen light) or 5600K (equivalent to daylight), respectively.

This function works when “3200K” or “5600K” is selected instead of “AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 22).

(From the controller, this operation can be performed only using the menu displays. Refer to “Basic operations” (page 29).)

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 “AWB A” or “AWB B” by following the steps for “Automatic adjustment” in “White balance adjustment” (page 22).

Notes

ATW might not function properly when high brightness light (ex. fluorescent lamp) beams into a screen.

White balance may not be accurately set if there is no white object in the scene being shot.

The white balance may shift out of adjustment when a different kind of light source such as sunlight or fluorescent lighting applies.

24

Black balance adjustment

Black balance adjustment

In order for the black to be reproduced accurately, the zero levels of the three primary colors (RGB) are adjusted. If the black balance has shifted out of adjustment, not only will the black be reproduced poorly but the color tones of the entire screen will also be degraded.

Normally, the black balance need not be re-adjusted, but it is necessary in the following situations.

This adjustment must be performed when using the unit for the first time or when the unit has not been used for a prolonged period.

The adjustment must be performed when the ambient temperature has changed significantly and at the change of the seasons.

Notes

Perform the menu operations and exit from the menus using the controller which displayed the Top Menu.

If a menu operation has been performed or a menu has been exited using another controller, first display the Top Menu and exit from it using one controller, and then display the Top Menu and exit from it using the other controller.

The procedures used for this unit’s menu operations may differ from the ones used for the convertible cameras and HD integrated cameras which have already been released on the market.

For details, refer to the Operating Instructions of the camera concerned.

The response speed of the camera differs slightly depending on the controller used.
