Shade, Cloudy, Flash, Fluorescent and Tungsten).

4. To make a Manual White Balance setting (not a

White balance test exposure), press the

Man. (AF)

button and then turn the

REAR scroll wheel to choose

a color temperature in gures (degrees Kelvin): 2000 –

10000 K

Note

White Balance settings are technically not necessary

for 3F/3FR les because raw format les contain all the

information required for correction in Phocus and/or other

software, regardless of the original color temperature of the

light source or color temperature setting of the camera at the

time of exposure. However, if you intend to shoot RAW & JPEG

or use Phocus / Phocus Quick for JPEG production and plan to

deliver or print the JPEG les directly, then you should make a

White Balance setting.

ISO & WHITE BALANCE

Both ISO and White Balance can be set either via the grip, the sensor unit or, when tethered, via Phocus.

On the grip, the ISO/WB button provides immediate access to ISO and White Balance settings. The front and rear scroll

wheels are used to make the desired changes which appear on the grip display, the sensor unit display as well as in the

viewnder. For the sensor unit display, settings can be changed with the Zoom button or with the True Focus/AE-L buttons

on the grip. In Phocus there is a specic tool to control camera settings.

The settings are automatically and simultaneously transferred from the grip to the sensor unit. Likewise all changes on the

sensor unit are automatically transferred to the grip display. Please note that the changes are only displayed on the sensor

unit when the settings have been saved.

See more information about making manual white balance settings

in the

‘Sensor Unit Settings’

section.

LIGHT METERING MODES

There are three reective metering modes available. These

have the following designations on the grip display:

– Centre Weighted

– CentreSpot

– Spot

Centre Weighted: Commonly used for ‘average’ light situa-

tions where there is no particular dominance of light or dark

areas across the tonal range. Takes into account approxi-

mately 25% of the image seen in the viewnder.

CentreSpot: Emphasizes the central section of the focus-

ing screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the image.

This provides a balanced assessment and is a typical choice

where the main subject is in the centre of the image.

Spot: The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately

2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the viewnder

screen). Any parts of the image outside of this area will not

aect the exposure reading. This provides a very accurate

measurement of specic tones. Typically used in the zone

system and similar light measuring situations where maxi-

mum control is required. Also excellent for tonal comparison

measurements. The spot mode can display ‘zones’ instead

of EVs in the viewnder display (see Custom Options #14).

Tip

ISO and White Balance settings can be made either on the

grip or the sensor unit. Settings are automatically updated on

each other.
