Video setup

Lighting correction

The exposure selection also includes lighting control positions which can be used when

shooting with lighting that is operating at a different frequency to the camera. There are

two positions: 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Each of these positions can be varied further in a range

from -10 to +10 Hz. To reduce flicker select the frequency closest to the frequency of the

lights and then vary the lighting control in the

Production Setup > Exposure > Lighting

menu to obtain the best result.

V-Shift (vertical acquisition shift)

When shooting monitors with (almost) the same display frequency as the camera’s, for

example TV sets, a horizontal black bar can be seen in the viewfinder. This phenomenon

occurs because the camera is blanking while the monitor is not. The V-shift function shifts

the camera blanking to synchronize it with the blanking of the monitor.

In the camera menu, navigate to the Production Setup > Exposure > Acq Timing menu

and switch on the V-Shift item. Use the V-Shift time item to change the time shift until the

horizontal bar disappears.

✎

Tip

V-Shift can also be used to remove color shifts that may occur when shooting DLP-type

projectors.

LED Wall Filter

When shooting against LED Wall backgrounds that contain high frequencies, interference

may occur, resulting in unwanted moire patterns. A special electronic filter is available that

can be used to reduce these effects:

In the camera menu, navigate to the Production Setup > Exposure item and switch

Led Wall Filter on.

Color

Color Temperature

For true color reproduction the ambient lighting conditions must be compensated for by

selecting a value for the color temperature. The standard file setting is 3200

K (normally

used for tungsten and indoor lighting). Two other reference color temperatures are

available: 5600

K (for outdoors, clouded conditions) and 7500 K (for outdoors, clear blue

skies).

The memory positions (FL50, FL60, AW1 and AW2) are available to store the results of the

auto-white measurement process. The memory positions store measured values using the

automatic white balance switch at the front. The FL positions are recommended for

shooting with fluorescent light.
