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.
Automatic adjustment
(AWB: AWB A or AWB 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.
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 has been adjusted when the
unit is used with the same settings and under the same conditions, its setting is completed simply by selecting a menu setting or pressing a button on the controller. There is no need to set it again.
 Once a new setting is entered, the previous setting will be
erased.

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.
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.

Flesh Tone Mode [Off, Low, High]
Set here is the flesh tone mode for displaying the subjects’ skin so that it appears more smoothly and eye‑pleasingly. When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced even more.
Color Matrix [Normal, EBU, NTSC]
This item is used to load the preset color matrix data and compensate for the saturation and color phase.
DNR [Off, Low, High]
Set here is the level of the digital noise reduction effect so that light, noise‑free and clear images will be output even at night and in other low‑brightness environments. When “Low” or “High” is selected, even more noise can be eliminated. However, there is an increased possibility that afterimages may occur.
Pedestal [–10 to +10]
This item is used to adjust the black level (adjust the pedestal) so that the dark parts of the images are easier to see. These parts become darker when a negative setting is selected and, conversely, lighter when a positive setting is selected.
DRS [Off, Low, High]
Set here is the DRS function which provides just the right amount of compensation when images with significant light/dark differences are displayed. When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced even more. This may make noise more perceptible with some scenes.
Gamma Type [Off, Normal, Cinema]
Selected here is the type of gamma curve. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as the “DRS” item setting. Normally, the “Normal” setting is used. When “Cinema” is selected, images giving off an atmosphere like movies can be shot.
Gamma Level [Low, Mid, High]
This item is used to adjust the gamma compensation level. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as the “DRS” item setting or when “Normal” is selected as the “Gamma Type” setting. When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle gradient in the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is sharper. Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.
Back Light COMP. [Off, On]
“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation function. Under backlight conditions, the function prevents darkening as a result of light striking the backs of subjects, and makes it possible to shoot images in shade or shadow more brightly. This item can be set when “Auto” has been selected as the “Contrast Mode” setting. The function takes effect when “Auto” has been selected as the Contrast Mode, Gain or Frame Mix item setting.

Limiters
This unit comes with settings (referred to as “limiters”) that restrict the panning and tilting movement ranges. Depending on where the unit has been installed, a subject which the user does not wish to be shot may be present in the movement ranges. In a case like this, the unit’s shooting range can be limited by setting the limiters at the positions just before the subject which the user does not wish to be shot.
The positions of four limiters — namely, the upper, lower, left‑most and right‑most limits of the travel range — can be set. Once they have been set, the positions will not be lost even after the power has been turned off.
The limiters can be set or released both by the wireless remote control and controller or web setting screen. Whatever was set or released last takes precedence. For the controller operations, refer to the Operating Instructions of the controller.
The settings of the limiters using the wireless remote control will be described here.
