D. Preparing the camera and shooting

D4.1 Preset

The white balance can be ﬁxed to a set value. When the

white balance switch is set to PRESET the preset value

is used. To change the preset value go (MENU: Paint –

Preset White) and select the desired color temperature.

D4.2 Memory Mode A and B

There are two memories in the camera that will remember

the white value for a white target. To set the white balance

correctly aim the camera at a white target such as a piece

of white paper that is under the same lighting as the rest

of the scene. Expose correctly and then press the WB SET

button on the front of the camera. This will store the white

balance in the memory selected by the switch.

D5. White Balance (Cine El Mode)

When shooting using the Cine EI mode a white balance

preset is selected using the white balance switch. Only 3

possible settings can be chosen, (Preset) 3200K, (A) 4300K,

(B) 5500K. Choose the option closest to the scene you are

shooting. Preset white balance is used to preserve the

full dynamic range of the camera, ﬁne tuning of the white

balance would be done in post production as part of the

normal grading process.
