Adjusting White Balance - Panasonic MICRO-IMAGECHECKER AX40 User Manual

5.4 Adjusting White Balance

An object in white is sometimes recognized as the one in yellowish or reddish white depending on the
light. Adjusting a white balance corrects color dispersion that occurs due to the using light, so that the
white object looks white. But, if a red LED is used for capturing a white paper, you cannot adjust the white
balance.
1. Take something white such as white paper with the camera and capture
the image.
2. Choose "INFO." > "White Balance" from the menu bar.
3. Select "Adjust" from the White Balance menu.
4. When the message shown below appears, press the ENTER key.
5. Set a rectangular area to "White" in the Image Display area.
Set the area in the following order:
"Move" > "Start Point" > "End Point".
6. Slowly open/close the aperture of the
lens until "OK" appears in the status
display area. When "OK" is displayed
in the area, take your hands off the
aperture.
7. Press the ENTER key while OK is
displayed.
Now adjustment of white balance is
completed.
8. Select "SAVE" > "Save" from the
menu bar to save the modified
settings.
Be sure to save the settings in the AX40 before power is removed from the devise, because the data that
have not been saved are erased.
• If you connect one camera to the AX40 (Camera = Camera 1), adjust white balance while
displaying an image saved as Memory 1. (If you displayed an image saved as Memory 2,
white balance cannot be adjusted.)
• If you use two cameras, adjust white balance for each image saved as Memory 2 and
Memory 1. Also, if you changed to another camera, re-adjust white balance.
