White Balance
The camera uses an electronic white balance process to calibrate the picture and ensure accurate colors under
different lighting conditions. There are 3 methods of setting the white balance.
Custom white balance: You can use a white object to establish the white balance and set it to one of two custom
white balance positions, ÅA or ÅB.
Set color temperature: Allows you to set the color temperature between 2,000 K and 15,000 K.
Preset white balance: Set the white balance to ¼ (daylight) or É (incandescent lamp). Preset white balance
settings can be further fine-tuned within a range of -9 to 9.
When recording under fluorescent lights, we recommend setting the custom white balance.
NOTES
• When recording on a CF card, the [Color Matrix] and [White Balance] custom picture settings (A 120) take
precedence over the white balance settings.
• You can use the [w Other Functions] > [Custom Function] > [Shockless WB] setting (A 122) to make the
transition look smoother when you change the white balance settings.
Setting the White Balance
1 Set the white balance mode using the direct setting mode.
• Press the FUNC. button to highlight the white balance icon and select

pressing SET.

If a custom white balance has not yet been stored, the custom white
balance icon ÅA or ÅB and default value (5,500 K) will flash slowly.

2 Point the camera at a white object so that it fills the whole screen.
• Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when recording.
3Press the Å button.
•The Å A or Å B icon will flash quickly.
• Make sure the white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.
