Shade, Cloudy, Flash, Fluorescent and Tungsten).
4. To make a Manual White Balance setting (not a
White balance test exposure), press the
Man. (AF)
button and then turn the REAR scroll wheel to choose
a color temperature in figures (degrees Kelvin): 2000 –
10000 K

Note
H5D Sensor Units Only: White Balance settings are techni-
cally not necessary for 3F/3FR files because raw format files
contain all the information required for correction in Phocus
and/or other software, regardless of the original color tem-
perature of the light source or color temperature setting of the
camera at the time of exposure. However, if you intend to use
Phocus / Phocus Quick for JPEG production, for example, and
plan to deliver or print the JPEG files directly, then you should
make a White Balance setting.
LIGHT METERING MODES
There are three reflective metering modes available. These
have the following designations on the grip display:
– Centre Weighted
– CentreSpot
– Spot
Centre Weighted: Commonly used for ‘average’ light situa-
tions where there is no particular dominance of light or dark
areas across the tonal range. Takes into account approxi-
mately 25% of the image seen in the viewfinder.
CentreSpot: Emphasizes the central section of the focus-
ing screen equivalent to approximately 25% of the image.
This provides a balanced assessment and is a typical choice
where the main subject is in the centre of the image.
Spot: The sensitive area is equivalent to approximately
2.5% of the image area (the central spot on the viewfinder
screen). Any parts of the image outside of this area will not
affect the exposure reading. This provides a very accurate
measurement of specific tones. Typically used in the zone
system and similar light measuring situations where maxi-
mum control is required. Also excellent for tonal comparison
measurements. The spot mode can display ‘zones’ instead
of EVs in the viewfinder display (see Custom Options #14).
Tip
H5D Sensor Units Only: ISO and White Balance settings can
be made either on the grip or the sensor unit. Settings are au-
tomatically updated on each other.
ISO & WHITE BALANCE – WITH H5D SENSOR UNITS ONLY
Both ISO and White Balance can be set either via the grip, the sensor unit or, when tethered, via Phocus.
On the grip, the ISO/WB button provides immediate access to ISO and White Balance settings. The front and rear scroll
wheels are used to make the desired changes. On the back, settings are changed with the zoom button. In Phocus there is
a specific tool to control camera settings.
The settings are automatically and simultaneously transferred from the grip to the sensor unit. Likewise all changes on the
sensor unit are automatically transferred to the grip display. Please note that the changes are only displayed on the sensor
unit when the settings have been saved.
