Notes{
ÁCheck that the lens connector is connected and that the iris of the lens is set to CLOSE. ÁDuring black balance adjustment, the iris automatically goes to the shaded status. ÁDuring black balance adjustment, the gain selector circuit switches automatically.
In addition, flicker and noise may appear on the viewfinder screen, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
ÁThe black balance cannot be adjusted while the setting menu is displayed on the viewfinder screen. Therefore, be sure to set the MENU SET/OFF switch to OFF.
ÁIf the black shading is not satisfactory even when the “ABB OK” message appears, open the “AUTO SHADING” SUB menu page of MAIN menu screen 4 of 4, and adjust the black shading. (See page 141.)
ÁThe black shading adjustment is performed automatically when the AUTO W/B BAL switch is held down at the ABB position for 10 or more seconds.
ÁWhen the super gain is set to ON, the black balance is performed at the preset position in the white balance memory.
