Setting the white balance
White balance is the process of correcting color bias depending on the light source
and adjusting the color of white so that white objects appear really white in the image.
The P-400R allows you to adjust the white balance manually.
1
Prepare a sheet of white paper or a
similar thing as the object, and adjust
the position of the microscope so that
the object fills within the metering area.
2
Adjust the illumination to set the light
condition for observation/capturing.
3
Press the bottom button (
) of the
multi-selector.
The white balance is obtained from the
view of the object when the button is
pressed.
After the message “White Balance
completed.” is displayed on the LCD
monitor, the ordinary display is restored.
4
Check the result with the live image on
the LCD monitor.
White balance measuring area
The area used to obtain the white balance is the same as the metering area. For
details about how to set the metering area, see “5.9 Switching the Metering
Area”.
