White Balance and the Side Handle

[steve green]

Hi guys,
A small issue I'm having when only using only the side handle. On the rare occasions I need to white balance, when I want to go back to the preset menu color temps the auto white balance values are still present. The tint is adjusted for the old white balance not reset to 000. When the touch screen is connected it's simple to hold down the color temp menu and adjust the tint back to 000, but with the Side Handle I haven't found a way to access the tint. Any ideas or workarounds?

This stumped me too for a bit. When you have the red line under the color temp menu just hit the up arrow on the side handle. That should take you to the advanced menu.

Starting to 3.2.x we added a "..." entry to the drop down spinners that will also open up the advanced menus. Pressing UP and holding the slot is generally faster but both are non-obvious and can only be discovered by studying the operations guide.

Steve, try hitting Up on every category; you'll find that about half of them, maybe more, get you to useful items that are not instantly obvious.

Thanks, Nick.....I'll be back in town tomorrow and I'm looking forward to experimenting with all the tips I've received. This Reduser site is awesome!

That tip fixed me right up......"up" bottom on the side handle=advance menu.......awesome!

This was very helpful! I had the same problem and assumed it was a firmware issue. Easy fix, thanks!
