10.3.6 The "Color" Factory Setup
When a camera leaves the factory, it contains several "factory setups" stored in its permanent
memory. A factory setup is simply a collection of settings for the parameters needed to operate the
camera. Each one of the factory setups is optimized to make the camera perform well in a particular
situation. One of the setups is known as the "color factory setup", and the parameter settings
contained in the color factory setup are optimized to produce good color images under the most
common lighting conditions.
To make the parameters contained in the color factory setup become the ones that are actively
controlling camera operation, you must select the color factory setup as the default camera
configuration set and then you must load the default configuration set into the camera’s active
configuration set. When you do this, it will:
Set the Gamma Selector parameter to sRGB
Set the Processed Raw Enable parameter to enabled.
Set the Light Source Selector parameter to Daylight 6500.
Sets the white balance parameters to values that are suitable for daylight lighting.
If you have badly misadjusted the settings for the color enhancement features on the camera, it may
be difficult to bring the settings back into proper adjustment. Selecting the color factory setup as the
default set and then loading the default set into the active set is a good way to recover from gross
misadjustment of the color features.
For more information about the factory setups and about selecting and loading configuration sets,
see Section 12.18 on page 319.
