Notes{
1.The white shading can be adjusted for general lenses using the above method. However, this method may not apply for extremely special lenses.
2.Vertical coloring may occur near the open position of the lens iris even after performing the above adjustments. However, this is characteristic of the optical system of the lens, and does not indicate a malfunction.
3.When a ratio converter is provided, adjust the white shading in the 4:3 mode since the ambient amount of light will drop if the 16:9 mode is established.
