Calibrating your camera with 
Camera Setup Assistant
You can dramatically improve your videos by fine-tuning your camera setup 
before recording a single frame of video. The Camera Setup Assistant in Adobe 
OnLocation is an excellent tool to help you calibrate your camera’s focus, exposure, 
and white balance. To fine-tune your camera setup effectively, it will be helpful to 
set your camcorder to manual focus, manual exposure, and manual white balance 
so you have complete control over these attributes.
Setting up your frame
To set up your frame, follow these steps:
1
Point your camera at your subject, and place the Camera Setup Assistant Focus 
and Exposure chart (which is included in the box with Adobe OnLocation) next 
to the subject.
