Tap these to access white balance and tint settings
Every light source emits a color. For example, a candle flame emits a warm color, and an
overcast sky emits a cool color. White balance settings are used to color balance your image so
white stays white by adjusting the mix of orange and blue in your image. For example, when
shooting under tungsten lamps which emit a warm, orange light, selecting 3200K adds some
blue to the image. This balances the color so white is accurately recorded.
Your URSA Broadcast comes with white balance presets for a variety of color temperature
conditions.These are:
Bright sunlight
(5600K)
Incandescent bulbs
(3200K)
Fluorescent bulbs
(4000K)
Mixed light
(4500K)
Cloud
(6500K)
You can customize any of these presets by tapping or holding the arrow icons to the left and
right of the temperature indicator in the bottom left of the ‘white balance’ menu. Each tap moves
the color temperature up or down 50K, but holding the arrow icons down will increase these
increments for faster changes. Alternatively, you can move the temperature slider in the middle
of the ‘white balance’ menu.
