Excessive illumination
Since the color of light (color temperature) varies depending on the light source, it is necessary to re-adjust the white balance when
the main light source illuminating the subject changes.
Do not adjust using any highly reflective objects, such as metal, etc., as this may result in improper white balance adjustment.
WHITE BALANCE ADJUSTMENT
Two kinds of white balance adjustment results can be stored in
memories AUTO1 and AUTO2.
Adjustment procedure
1.
Set the following switches.
• Set the POWER switch to ON.
• Set the OUTPUT switch to CAM-AUTO KNEE OFF.
• Set the IRIS mode switch of the lens to A (Auto).
2.
Set the FILTER knob according to the current lighting.
3.
Set the WHT.BAL switch to A or B.
4.
Place a white object near the centre of the screen under
the same lighting conditions as the target subject and zoom
in to fill the screen with white.
5.
Tilt the AUTO WHT./ACCU FOCUS switch upward (to AUTO
WHITE) once and release it.
"AUTO WHITE A, B OPERATION" is displayed in the
viewfinder while the auto white balance adjustment circuit
operates.
"AUTO WHITE A, B OK" is displayed when the white balance
has been adjusted properly.
Error messages
• NG: OBJECT (Improper object)
Displayed when there is not enough white color on an object
or the color temperature is not suitable.
Replace the color temperature conversion filter or use another
white object and re-adjust the white balance.
• ERROR: LOW LIGHT (Insufficient illumination)
Displayed when the illumination is dim. Increase the
illumination and then re-adjust the white balance.
• ERROR: OVER LIGHT (Excessive illumination)
Displayed when the light is excessively bright. Decrease the
illumination and then re-adjust the white balance.
FULL-TIME AUTO WHITE BALANCE (FAW)
The FAW function adjusts the white balance value
automatically as the lighting condition changes.
This mode is convenient when you have no time to adjust the
white balance or when the camera is moved frequently in and
out of places under different lighting conditions.
Setting procedure
The FAW function can be activated with item "FAW" on the
OPERATION MENU.
This item allows allocation of the FAW function to one of the
WHT.BAL switch positions, A, B or PRESET.
See "OPERATION SCREEN" on page 73.
6-5 White Balance Adjustment
When a subject illuminated by a halogen lamp with a color temperature of 3,200K is shot while the color temperature conversion
filter setting is set to 5,600K, a proper white balance adjustment and (FAW) Full Time Auto White balance may not be
accomplishable. In this case, change the color temperature conversion filter setting to 3,200K and then carry out the white
balance adjustment and (FAW) again.
Note:
CAUTION:
The FAW (Full-time Auto White balance) function cannot
provide optimum white balance with a subject outside
the FAW adjustment range, for example when it contains
only a single color or not enough white color.
The accuracy of the FAW (Full-time Auto White balance)
is inferior to that of the manual white balance.
When the power is turned on with the FAW mode
selected, it takes about 10 seconds for the FAW
adjustment to be completed. Do not shoot within this
interval.
