Note that the default sensitivity of the CCD sensor is either ISO<br />
50 or ISO 100. Higher ISO settings result in progressively noisier<br />
images (just as higher ISO film becomes grainer). It is recommended<br />
that you use the lowest ISO setting that the lighting<br />
situation allows.<br />
To set the ISO on the digital capture unit<br />
1. Choose MAIN MENU > ISO. This is the top item of the top<br />
menu, so it will be selected by default when you enter the<br />
menu system. (See also Navigating the Menu System for<br />
details about how to find this setting.)<br />
2. Use the zoom ( – or + )button to step through the available<br />
ISO settings until the setting you want is shown.<br />
3. Either move on to another setting by using the navigator button<br />
or press the menu button to exit the menu system and<br />
keep your setting.<br />
White balance / Grey balance setting<br />
There are several ways to make a white/grey balance setting adjustment.<br />
When untethered on location you might prefer to make a<br />
quick preset adjustment setting at the same time that you check the<br />
ISO and Media settings. Tethered in the studio you might prefer<br />
to take the first shot of a grey scale and make the adjustment in<br />
Phocus/FlexColor for that session. In addition, you might want to<br />
assign the <strong>User</strong> Button as a rapid white balance check in a mixed<br />
lighting situation.<br />
A white balance setting can be made either on the grip or on<br />
the digital capture unit. Changes made on one are recorded and<br />
displayed on the other.<br />
To set the white balance on the grip<br />
The ISO/WB button provides immediate access to white balance<br />
settings. The rear control wheel is used to make the desired changes.<br />
The settings are automatically and simultaneously transferred<br />
from the camera to the digital capture unit. Please note that the<br />
changes are only displayed on the digital capture unit unit when<br />
the settings have been saved.<br />
1) Press the ISO/WB button on the grip.<br />
2) To make a preset White Balance setting, turn the rear control<br />
wheel to choose between:<br />
Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Flash, Fluorescent and Tungsten<br />
3) To make a <strong>Manual</strong> White Balance setting (not a White<br />
balance test exposure), press the Man. (AF) button and<br />
then turn the rear control wheel to choose a color temperature:<br />
2000 – 10000 K<br />
4) Press SAVE (ISO/WB button) to save the setting.<br />
White Balance settings are only approximate color temperature<br />
settings. They are only used for user convenience when viewing.<br />
3F/3FR files are raw format files and therefore contain all the<br />
information required for correction in Phocus / FlexColor and/<br />
or other software, regardless of the original color temperature<br />
at the time of exposure .
