` White Bal Control
The Olympus i-- SPEED LT provides two types of white balance,
pre--set and automatic. Several pre--set white balance settings are
provided, based on light source technologies found in the Olympus
range of industrial light sources.
The automatic function relies on the user placing a pure white
reference (sheet of paper etc.) if front of the camera, completely
filling the field of view and then pressing the WB Set button. This
paper must not be removed until the white balance is complete. An
on screen message shows the status of the white balance process.
The balance achieved is remembered by the camera while
switched off.
NOTE
This control is not available in monochrome cameras.
` WB Set Control
This control activates the automatic white balance function. Before
pressing this control, the user must place a pure white reference
(sheet of paper etc.) if front of the camera, completely filling the field
of view. This must not be removed until the white balance is
complete. An on screen message shows the status of the white
balance process.
Please refer to Chapter 8 “Understanding the Oly mpus i--SPEED
2”
for a further description.
NOTE
The control is only available if the white balance mode
is set to automatic.
Once set, the white balance values will be stored in
non --volatile memory. Thus if camera power is removed,
the camera will return to the user set white balance
values.
