How the White Balance
(Tint)
Adjustment Works
Video recording takes place under various light sources, from
sunlight as the main natural light source to a wide range of
artificial light sources such as fluorescent lamps. As each of
these light sources has a different colour temperature, each of
them gives the colours of the subject a slightly different tint.
Human eyes can easily adjust to different kinds of lighting and
recognize an object as having the same colour, even under
different light sources.
The eye of the Movie Camera (lens), however, cannot adapt to
the change in lighting and is influenced by the lighting.
Therefore, depending on the light source, the picture would be
recorded with a bluish or reddish tint. To minimize the influence
of the lighting on the colours of the subject, an adjustment called
White Balance Adjustment is necessary.
∫ Auto White Balance
This Movie Camera offers both Auto White Balance Adjustment
and Manual White Balance Adjustment. When the Movie
Camera is in the Full Auto Mode, the internal system of the
Movie Camera automatically determines the temperature of the
light and compensates the tint of the subject accordingly. White
is the basic colour by which the tint is determined. Because this
adjustment is performed based on the white colour, it is called
White Balance Adjustment. The optimum settings for several
light sources are stored in the memory of the Movie Camera.
The internal microcomputer compares the colour temperature of
the light received by the White Balance Sensor positioned on
the front of the Movie Camera with the colour stored in memory,
and selects the setting for the most similar tint.
Be careful not to cover the White Balance Sensor (m 12) with
your hand, etc.
∫ Manual White Balance
Although this Movie Camera stores the optimum settings for
several light sources in memory to correctly judge the white
colour, it cannot cope with all light sources. Therefore, to record
under those types of lighting (m 96, 98) which cannot be
correctly adjusted with Auto White Balance Adjustment, use
Manual White Balance Adjustment. (m 96)
How the Focus Adjustment Works
If you look at an object through a magnifying glass and move it
closer or further away from your eye, you will reach a point
where the object becomes clearly visible. Being focused or in
focus means that the subject can be seen with optimum clarity
and sharpness. The distance between the lens and the point
where the rays of light come together is called Focal Distance or
Focal Length and depends on the size and shape of the lens.
Human eyes have lenses too, and when we look at objects at
different distances, the shape of these lenses changes
automatically so that we can always see the objects clearly.
∫ Auto Focus Adjustment
The image of the subject enters the Movie Camera through the
lens and is converted into an electrical signal (video signal) for
recording onto tape. Based on this signal, the Auto Focus
System automatically adjusts the focal distance by moving the
focusing lens forward or backward.
The focus is adjusted on the subject in the centre of the Finder.
