[White Balance (Camera Image Input)]

Set up the white balance to make white objects look white by calibrating the color of images scanned from cameras.
By adjusting the white balance, the white color can be appropriately reproduced under any lighting conditions
Appropriate value can also be set automatically.
Note
  • Perform the white balance setting only when a color camera is used.
  • Be sure to perform the white balance setting in the following cases:
    • When a new system is installed
    • When a camera or lighting is changed
    Since measurement results may vary with changes of the white balance setting, be sure to verify the operation after it has changed.
  1. In the "Item tab" area, tap [White balance].

  2. In the "White balance setting" area, specify "R", "G", and "B" values.
