ISO and White Balance | XF Camera System

Setting ISO in the IQ digital back

ISO sensitivity can be set either by scrolling the side dial on the

XF camera or by selecting ISO with the top right key of the IQ

digital back. ISO Range is dependent on the IQ digital back you

have attached to the system.

White Balance (WB)

The default WB setting is Auto, which is usually sucient for

most situations. However there are 4 standard white balance

settings to match various light sources: Daylight, Fluorescent,

Tungsten and Flash.

The standard white balance settings can be selected with the

IQ backs lower right key.

Custom White Balance

3 Custom white balance options are available. Selecting one

of these will make it possible to create a custom white balance

on the spot.

Create a Custom White Balance

1. Shoot one image including a gray patch or other color

neutral area, that you want to use for neutral setting

2. View the image in full screen and click the lower right

corner to activate contextual menu

3. Select the White Balance picker in the contextual menu.

4. Click on the gray patch with the on-screen picker and the

custom white balance will be set accordingly.

Long pressing the picker tool in the contextual menu, will bring

up the “White balance Picking” where it is possible to choose

if custom white balance should be stored to either Custom 1,

Custom 2 or Custom 3.

if the Auto Save mode is unchecked in the White Balance Pick-

ing settings, the custom white balance will only be applied to

the current image, and not set for future images.

NOTE:

It is a good practice to have at least one image in each shooting scenario

include a gray. In this workow it will be possible to precisely tune the white

balance in the image from inside Capture One Pro, or with a custom white

balance, at a later time.
