To set the white balance on the digital capture unit
To select a preset white balance:
1a. Press the MENU button on the digital capture unit.
2a. Use  and  to select the White Bal: sub-menu.
3a. Use the zoom(
–
or
+
)
button to step through the available
choices until the one you want is shown.
4a. Either move on to another setting by using the navigator
button or press the MENU button to exit the menu system
and keep your setting.
To make a manual white balance setting:
1a. Choose MAIN MENU > White Bal > Manual.
2a. Use the  button to call up the ‘Manual White Balance’ screen.
3b. Here, you can adjust the color temperature to a specic
numeral setting in degrees K with the zoom (
–
or
+
)
button.
Alternatively, you can position the central spot in the view-
nder over an area that you consider should be rendered as
neutral in color in the image (a ‘grey card’ or even a sheet
of white paper is ideal) and make a test capture (ensure the
exposure is approximately correct otherwise you will get a
warning message).
A small rectangle appears on the display marking that parti-
cular area. Calculations then take place automatically so that
the following shots use the area chosen as the new ‘white
balance’ standard. Using this method you can also read o
the screen what the color temperature of the light source has
been judged to be in degrees Kelvin.
4a. Press the MENU button to exit the menu system and keep
your setting.
 New settings are retained even when the camera has been
turned o and re-activated, so don’t forget to make new
settings when required.
Color temperature can be set
manually or read o after a
test capture.
