Adjusting the Black Balance

You can have the camera adjust the black balance automatically when ambient temperature changes

considerably or if there is a noticeable change in a true black video signal.

1 Open the [ABB] screen.

[~ Camera Setup] > [ABB]

2 Attach the body cap to the lens mount.

• If a lens was attached, remove the lens and replace the body cap.

3 Select [OK] and then press SET.

• The automatic black balance procedure will start.

4 When the confirmation message appears, press SET.

• If the body cap is not correctly attached, [Error] will appear on the screen. Press SET and repeat the

procedure from the beginning.

NOTES

• Adjusting the black balance may be necessary in the following cases:

- When using the camera for the very first time or after a long period of not using it.

- After sudden or extreme changes in ambient temperature.

- After changing the ISO speed/gain settings.

• The automatic black balance procedure will take approximately 40 seconds when the frame rate is set to

23.98P or 24.00P.

• During the adjustment of the black balance, you may notice some irregular displays appear on the screen. This

is not a malfunction.

• Resetting the camera’s settings using the [w Other Functions] > [Reset] > [All Settings] or [Camera
