Every light source emits a color. For example, a candle flame emits a warm color, and an

overcast sky emits a cool color. White balance settings are used to color balance your image

so white stays white by adjusting the mix of orange and blue in your image. For example, when

shooting under tungsten lamps which emit a warm, orange light, selecting 3200K adds some

blue to the image. This balances the color so white is accurately recorded.

Your URSA Broadcast G2 comes with white balance presets for a variety of color temperature

conditions. These are:

Bright sunlight (5600K)

Incandescent bulbs (3200K)

Fluorescent bulbs (4000K)

Mixed light (4500K)

Cloud (6500K)

You can customize any of these presets by tapping or holding the arrow icons to the left and

right of the temperature indicator in the bottom left of the ‘white balance’ menu. Each tap moves

the color temperature up or down 50K, but holding the arrow icons down will increase these

increments for faster changes. Alternatively, you can move the temperature slider in the middle

of the ‘white balance’ menu.

To further dial in your image, you can adjust the ‘tint.’ This adjusts the mix of green and magenta

inyour image. For example, adding some magenta can compensate for the green cast of many

fluorescent lights. Many of your URSA Broadcast G2’s white balance presets include some tint.

Tapping the white balance and tint indicator on your URSA Broadcast G2 gives you access

to fivepresets, as well as a white balance indicator and slider on the left, and a tint indicator

on the right. Adjust thesetoset a custom white balance for your lighting conditions

While in the ‘white balance’ menu, your camera’s current tint setting is shown at the bottom right

of the screen. To adjust the tint, simply tap or hold the arrows to the left and right of the tint

indicator. The available range is -50 to +50 in one unit increments. Holding down on the arrows

speeds up adjustment.

NOTE Customizing the white balance or tint will change your preset to‘CWB,’ or

custom white balance. Custom white balances are persistent; your CWB settings will

stay configured between power cycles, and when switching to a preset and back to

CWB. This makes iteasy to compare a custom white balance to the last preset used.

Auto White Balance

Your URSA Broadcast G2 can set white balance automatically. Tapping ‘AWB’ will bring up the

white balance screen.
