Chapter 6: On-Screen Displays

A White Balance process is used to balance the active 
pixels of the image sensor to the overall color temperature 
of the lighting. 

1.  Point the camera towards an area that represents 

white, or place a white object in front of the 
camera. Ensure that the white subject is not  
fully saturated.

2.  Select and highlight “OK” next to the word  

“White Balance”. 

3.  Rotate the Menu knob to select a white balance 

value, and press again. 

White balance

CC+0

Color Compensation is automatic, however it can be 
further adjusted if necessary.

image menu

Most of the settings in this menu pertain to color cameras only.

Color temperature adjusts the red and blue 
components of white balance, while Color 
Compensation (CC+0) adjusts the magenta and 
green components of the white balance.
