White Balance

Custom White Balance
1 Press SET.
• One of the adjustable settings will be highlighted
in orange on the screen.
2 Push the joystick left/right to select the current
white balance setting.
3 Push the joystick up/down to select [WB-A] or
[WB-B] and then press SET.
• If a custom white balance has been stored
previously, pressing the joystick will apply the
stored custom white balance. You do not need
to perform the rest of the procedure.
• If a custom white balance has not yet been
stored, the custom white balance display [WB-A] or [WB-B] and default value will flash slowly.
Continue the procedure to establish the custom white balance.
4 Point the camera at a gray card or white object so that it fills the whole screen.
• Use the same lighting conditions you plan to use when shooting.
5 Press the SET WB button.
• [WB-A] or [WB-B] will flash quickly.
• Make sure the gray card or white object fills the screen until the procedure is completed.
• Once [WB-A] or [WB-B] stops flashing, the procedure is completed. The setting is retained even if
you turn off the camera.
NOTES
• Readjust the custom white balance if the light source or ND filter setting changes.
• Very rarely and depending on the light source, [WB-A] or [WB-B] may keep flashing (it will change to
a slow flashing). The result will still be better than with the auto white balance.
Color Temperature/Preset White Balance
1 Press SET.
• One of the adjustable settings will be highlighted in orange on the screen.
2 Push the joystick left/right to select the current white balance setting.
3 Push the joystick up/down to select [Kelv] (color temperature setting), or [Dylt] or [Tung]
(preset white balance).
• To change the color temperature or to further adjust the preset white balance, continue to step 4.
Otherwise, press SET (the rest of the procedure is not necessary).
4 Push the joystick right.
• Alternatively, you can press the SET WB button.
• Color temperature: On the screen, the default color temperature value (5,500 K) next to the
white balance setting will be highlighted in orange.
Preset white balance: On the screen, the adjustment value ±0 next to the white balance setting
will be highlighted in orange.
