5800 Video capture - disable white balance

Hi
Anyone know a way to turn white balance off when capturing video - it is really annoying as the video keep readjusting to every change  really obviously!
Cheers

That's ALC (automatic level control).
White balance is what adjusts the overall tint (not brightness) of the picture according to the type of ambient light. For example, neon light gives everything a green tint, so the "camera" compensates for this.

  • Cannot get white-balance correction to work

    I have some diving video that needs white balance correction.  I am trying out the PE11 trial.
    I've tried smart-fix as well as the 3-way correction tool.  I've used the dropper to select something that should be white, but it makes little to no difference.
    Any ideas why ?

    As an experiment I went for another dive today, this time taking the same camera (Canon S110 with underwater white balance mode active) as well as a GoPro with a red filter.  The video from the GoPro seems to have much more colour in it so I think it's a case of the Canon not capturing as much of that spectrum.  I'll do another dive tomorrow and manually set the white balance to see if it makes any difference.  I'm so use to shooting on the GoPro that I was surprised by the reduced colour in the Canon.
    Is there any way to determine how much of red / green / blue is available in the video using PE11 ?
    Thanks for the reply.

  • Webcam White Balance Settings?

    Hello,
    I just got a Satellite S855 and I had found at some point an option to change the camera's white balance settings to things like "sunny" and "cloudy" but now I cannot seem to find those options anywhere! I can't remember how I accessed them the first time. I have tried to find somr answers and some mention being able to do it through Skype but I sure can't figure out how. I want to record a video and the white balance is terrible. Any clues? 

    If your webcam is like mine, activate the camera, hover your mouse near the bottom of the picture, click on Settings, click Scene, scroll to the right and you will find Sunny, Cloudy, Rain and Night as well as a few others.

  • Iso, Shutter Speed, Aperture, White balance for music videos or film?

    Hello everyone. I just started making music videos. I just want some tips or can someone  direct me to a good  guide for music videos. I know the basics of iso, shutter speed, and aperture already. I read some guides and so far I know I gotta put  my shutter at 1/50 or if i'm recording something at high speed, i  increase it. is it so? Also, I always put my aperture at the lowest. I  have a Canon T2i and Canon lenses 50 f/1.8 and kit lens. I always put my  aperture at the lowest 3.5(kit lens) or 1.8. The tricky part is the ISO. I don't  know where to put my ISO. I know the lowest ISO is good but sometimes  the video looks dark. Do I fix this in video editing programs? Like should I always  stay at ISO 100? What about white balance? I use Final Cut 7.
    Also, what about during the day and night? Indoors? etc I also have a cheap LED lights.

    your questions are about the very basics of photography.
    I would consider to buy a book, which explains photography 'from the ground' ("... for dummies.." not meant as an offence!)
    in short:
    a scenery offers a defined amount of light.
    Your cameras 'film' aka sensor, needs a defined amount of light to deliver a picture.
    So, on recoprding, you have to control the amount of light, and the controls are:
    aperture - opened or closed
    shutter - shorter or longer
    speed (ISO) - higher or lower.
    Imagine the light as a stream of tiny balls, coming from your scenery: a bigger hole = aperture lets more balls into the cam. A shorter shutter speed reduces the amount of balls. And a higher ISO catches more balls than a lower. ..
    Understanding that, you realize that those parameters are crosswise-related: an open aperture + a shorter shutter speed results in the same amount of light on the sensor as a closed aperture and a longer shutter speed.
    If the amount of light is still too much, lower the sensitivity = ISO.
    If the amount of light is too little, open the aperture, or use a longer shutter speed or raise the sensitivity.
    When you set one or two parameters in this equation, you have to adjust the other ones: Video-makers start with the shutter speed, usually set to 1/2 of frame-rate = 1/50 - 1/60 - why? Because it allows a nice looking 'smear' aka motion-blur aka 'film look'.
    Now, with a given speed, you can conrtol teh amount of light for the sensor only by aparture; and when you reach limits, by setting ISO.
    When you understood this BY PRACTICING, you're next step is the concept of 'shallow focus'/depth of field. And when you understood this BY PRACTICING, you'll will understand the need of Neutral Densitity Filters for movie-makers...
    But first things first: buy a book; read your cam's amnual; practice the settings and watch carefully the different results, diff. settings result.
    ... and it's really just about basics - independently of your device and/or your software.
    None of the things mentioned above can be done or 'fixed' in post... (basically...)
    happy movie making!

    I've partitoned Windows swell and it says the same thing? I'm trying to live capture from my Sony Camcorder through Elgato but I just get the above message?

    This means that the backups were made with a later version than the version currently on the phone. You will have to update the phone to 6.1.3 to be able to restore the backup. You can restore a backup made with an earlier version, but not with a later version.

  • Mavericks: white balance changes when video plays

    Hi There,
    I have an issue that whenever video is playing (YouTube, Vimeo, Final Cut, Premier Pro) my monitor's white balance will change to a cooler temperature after 2 or 3 seconds.
    But weirdly, only the white balance on the video changes - nothing else on screen changes - setup is:
    15" MBP Retina
    NVIDIA Descret graphics
    Dell U2713H
    I initially had to run a few terminal commands to force the MBP to recognice the Dell as a monitor (http://embdev.net/topic/284710#3567172) so don't know if this is part of the issue?
    But this doesn't happen with the monitor at home - same MBP and monitor model.
    I can't work out of this is the monitor, video card or the OS that's doing this - has anyone else seen this?
    CHeers
    Ben

    I'd checked several settings on the Dell but just found another one: "Smart Movie Enhance" - turning this off fixed the issue.
    >Menu >Display Settings >Smart Video Enhance> Off
    It seems professional monitors are becoming more like TVs - after turnning off all the picture enhancing tech on our new Sony TV, movies finally looked cinematic and not like 90s video!

  • Fixing white balance when it varies during video.

    Hi there, I was shooting video for a while and I think the sensor on my Canon 5D Mark II overheated and it turned the white balance from my manual setting to green (gradually).  Then it turned back.  This happened a few times in the video.  Is there a way to correct the overall white balance by setting a degrees kalvin that is followed throughout?  Help is much appreciated thanks.

    Broken monitor profile, affects only Lr and other color managed applications. Run your calibrator again, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB for now.
    Go to Control Panel > Color Management > Devices:
    EDIT: unless of course you have a preset applied on import.

  • Forced White balance during tethered capture

    I have updated the Lightroom to the latest and greatest. I am not sure that this was a problem before, but heres the scoop. I have built a preset to be applied during tethered capture. I have unchecked the white balence check box in the preset settings. After I save it, I applied it to the tethered capture floating bar. The gofy things is that when I shoot, all the things I asked for happen, except the white ballence. It forces this yucky uber warm white balance. Just to make sure it was not shot that way, I then selected "as shot". It immediatly went to the color of the shoot and looks great. I have tried re saving it, I tried turning off other color options (thinking that somehow they might be related in some odd way) but no go. I know that there are many little gotchas in LR and I do pretty well with rooting them out, but I am at a loss on this one. Thanks.

    It forces this yucky uber warm white balance. Just to make sure it was not shot that way, I then selected "as shot". It immediatly went to the color of the shoot and looks great.
    When you select 'As Shot' do the Temp and Tint settings change? How about other settings, do any of them change? Just trying to determine what is actually causing the color change.
    Did you try creating a new preset with the same settings, and see how it behaves when you uncheck White Balance? The original preset file may have been corrupted (i.e. damaged) and resaves are not fixing it. If this doesn't resolve the problem then it is likely a bug with tethered mode operation. Please let us know.

  • White bar across video capture

    After extensive searching across this most amazing forum (I'm bookmarking this and I'll be back (with austrian accent)) I found something close to my problem.
    After updating my system with all the latest drivers I still have a problem with video capture from my camcorder. I can get the capture to work fine but it shows a horizontal white bar across the replay. I thought it might have been some kind of censor algorithm as it was of a naughty video of my wife and I but after tryin 8 different capture programs and installing and reinstalling trying other very tame family videos the white bar would appear and disappear randomly no matter what I captured.
    In a post from Ayrsayle at the end of which he said
     "One last hint: The 1.12 drivers and up have Macrovision built in so if you copy commercial tapes or DVDs you'll get a white bar across the image. It can be fixed this way:
    Get a copy of the 1.08 drivers (you can web search for them). Extract 1.08 drivers to a new folder, and replace Nvcap.sys and Nvcap.inf *only* in the Windows directories(do file find on C:/windows to locate them) with the 1.08 versions. Reboot. Problem solved. I just found this tonight.
    I hope some of this helps, I've had to tear my hair out as well over the past month upon getting this card! "
    Well my problem is it's not a commercial video I'm capturing (Well at least not yet!).
    My other problem is I'm having trouble locating the past drivers.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks
    James :(

     :O  X( I'm trying to capture my home videos off of my sharp hi8 video camera.
    I'd like to know how the F*&$%ers at Macrovision found a way to copyright my family reuion!
    If I ever meet one of them I'm going to tear him a new a**hole
    and the other thing is why do I have to spend over a week trying to find what the problem was and now spend more money (of course what the f*@% was I thinking) to fix something that shouldnt even be there.
    I'm going to leave a message with MSI and if I don't have an answer by tomorrow evening when I log on again, someone is going to get a video card inserted in a slot they never expected
    By the way. I did a search of this forum and other than going back to an old driver(which i spent the last 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back) which didn't work NO ONE HAS SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED THIS QUESTION!
    What happened to the other guys did they give up?

  • Video white balance levels not showing, so video effects and color editing won't work

    I've watched white balance tutorials, and I tried clicking the dropper onto the viewer to change the color. But, in the gray box above it there are normally red green and blue lines, but I have nothing there. I think this is preventing any edits to my color balance, can anyone help?

    Well, no offense, but you seriously should read the C4D help. That's normal specular shading behavior and it is uniform acroos the plane because you obviously haven't defined any scene lights and use the default viewport light. Read up on how to create materials and adjust there properties and then learn the fine art of scene lighting as well as how to use object buffers to isolate objects with multipass renders.

  • Precision White Balance Techniques

    Hello. This is my first post here; glad to be joining.
    I have been using Nikon Capture for years and am moving to Aperture because I find the new Capture NX no longer meets my needs. I have been using a post processing technique taught by a Ron Reznick. Let me say it's not my intention to prosetlyze here, but I am looking for a way, in Aperture, to get precise White Balance.
    I've already made a suggestion to permit enlarging the luminance histogram in order to use the shadow area (<64) curve reversal to get precise White Balance but cannot do it with the current Aperture histogram. I have the 30" monitor yet the curve is still only 1" high, too small to use.
    Is there a technique one of you use to set the white balance? I asked this at DPReview and was lectured to that it's whatever you want, but that isn't how I understand white balance. I don't have a need to change it to something else; I simply want to set the precise WB which occurred when the image was shot.
    Any suggested methods using Aperture?
    Thanks in advance, Rich<br>

    Rich - I'm using the WhiBal product with excellent success. I shoot the target at the scene (easily carried on a lanyard around my neck) and then process in Aperture with the White Balance tool. BTW, when positioning the tool, I use the loupe option set to show color values to insure that I'm getting the most neutral point....you can learn about the WhiBal gizmo from video tutorials on the web site: http://www.rawworkflow.com/products/whibal/index.html
    I hope this is helpful in some way...your discussion of using curves to do this is something new to me, so you may be beyond this point.
    Good Luck.
