Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for
tt During the automatic black balance execution, recording to the P2 card is not performed by pressing the <REC> button.
tt The gain switching circuit is automatically switched during black balance adjustment. Flicker or noise sometimes appears on the viewfinder screen. This is not a malfunction.
tt Even after automatic black balance has ended, if black shading is a cause of concern, select [DETECTION(DIG)] in the main menu → [MAINTENANCE] → [BLACK SHADING], and execute black shading adjustment. Alternatively, set [ON] in the main menu → [CAMERA] → [SW MODE] → [SHD,ABB SW CTL], and hold down the <AUTO W/B BAL> switch for two seconds or more to adjust black shading. [B‑SHD READY] will be displayed in the viewfinder, and black shading can be automatically adjusted after the automatic black balance operation. While black shading is being adjusted, [B‑SHD ACTIVE] will be displayed in the viewfinder. After this, be sure to close down the lens aperture until [B‑SHD OK] is displayed in the viewfinder. Note, however, that when the remote control unit AJ‑RC10G (optional) or the extension control unit AG‑EC4G (optional) is connected, black shading cannot be automatically adjusted even by holding down the <ABB> switch.
tt When black balance is being automatically adjusted (when [ABB ACTIVE] is displayed in the viewfinder), adjustment is canceled by pushing the <AUTO W/B BAL> switch towards <ABB> again. The adjustment values at this time return to the values before automatic adjustment was performed.
