Chapter 5 Adjustments and Settings White Balance Adjustment Adjusting the white balance ensures that as lighting conditions change white objects remain white in the image and tones remain natural. The color of light emitted varies from one light source to another, and as the lighting changes the apparent color of an illuminated subject changes. It is therefore necessary to adjust the white balance each time the principal lighting source changes.
White Balance Adjustment 4 Arrange a white subject (paper, cloth, etc.) under the same lighting conditions as for shooting, and zoom in on it so that as far as possible the whole screen is white. The minimum white area requirements for the adjustment are shown in the following figure. Center of the screen Area of white within this rectangle should be equivalent to at least 10% of the image area. To recall a white balance value from memory Before beginning shooting, set the W.
Message WHITE:PRESET The W. BAL switch is in the PRESET position. Move the W. BAL switch to the A or B position. BARS The camera is outputting a color bar signal. Move the OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ switch to one of the CAM positions. Using the Preset White Balance Settings The camera provides two preset white balance settings, for instant shooting with approximately the correct adjustment.
White Balance Adjustment If the ATW function does not operate correctly A warning massage appears in the viewfinder as shown in the table below. Message Meaning and corrections to be made :C.TEMP.LOW If the FILTER control is in position 2, 3 or 4, change it to position 1, then retry the ATW operation. :C.TEMP.HIGH If the FILTER control is in position 1, change it to position 2, 3 or 4, then retry the ATW operation.
Black Balance Adjustment Correct adjustment of the black balance is important for optimum operation of a video camera. It is necessary when using the camera for the first time or after a significant period out of use, and also when there has been a sudden change in temperature. The adjustment value is saved in memory, and readjustment is not normally necessary after powering the camera off or simply when lighting conditions change.
Shutter Settings This section covers the settings for electronic shutter speed, CLS (clear scan ) and EVS function. The new value for the shutter speed or clear scan frequency and EVS setting remains set until changed, even when the camera is powered off. Shutter speeds There are five shutter speeds, from 1/100 s (DXC-D35/ D35WSL) or 1/60 s (DXC-D35P/D35WSPL) to 1/2000 s. Increasing the shutter speed reduces blurring when shooting a fast-moving subject.
When using the clear scan function Watching the monitor screen, adjust the frequency to give minimum interference. If there is a black band in the monitor image, reduce the frequency, and if there is a white band, increase the frequency. To return from the basic menu to the normal indications Press the MENU/STATUS switch as many times as necessary until the normal indications appear. The new setting of the shutter speed or clear scan frequency appears in the normal screen display.
Setting the Clock and Timestamping Recordings Use advanced menu page 8 to set the camera head’s internal clock and record the date and time. Note If the following date/time setting procedure for the internal clock does not cause the date/time information to be displayed in advanced menu page 8, it may be due to a worn-out lithium battery in the camera head. See page 23 and replace the lithium battery. Flashing 4 How to set the date and time 1 Access advanced menu page 8.
Timestamping recordings You can timestamp recordings by superimposing the current date and time. 1 Before shooting, set the CLOCK IND to CAM in advanced menu page 8. The date and time appear in the viewfinder, and are superimposed on the video signal output from the camera. 2 To stop superimposing the date and time, set the CLOCK IND to OFF.
Viewfinder Screen Adjustments The following adjustments are provided to improve the visibility of the viewfinder screen. Although these adjustment may make the viewfinder image clearer, they have no effect on the output video signal from the camera. Contrast and brightness adjustment Carry out these adjustments with the color bars displayed. 1 Set the OUTPUT/DL/DCC+ switch to the BARS position. The color bars appear in the viewfinder.
