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.

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.

 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.

 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).)

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.

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.
