COLOR TEMP

The Color Temperature sub-menu adjusts the purity of white reproduction of the RGB monitoring paths at

different Color Temperatures of ambient light. Factory default is 5,600 degrees Kelvin.

AUTO WB

The Automatic White Balance (AUTO WB) function allows the camera to calculate a Color Temperature

monitor.
To use AUTO WB, place a white or gray object under the ambient light, select the AUTO WB parameter

and then push in on the joystick once. AUTO WB may also be assigned to a User Key.

pendently calculate its own White Balance value.

NOTE: If operating in Master / Slave mode, pressing DAYLIGHT on the master camera will also

force the slave camera to use 5,600K (+ / - any S WBAL trim set up for it).

just: Select MANUAL WB and twist joystick to change the highlighted COLOR TEMP box to the desired
