Adjusting the white shading

This unit comes with a function for storing white shading adjustment values. Up to eight of these values can be stored in the internal memory. Alternatively, they can be stored on an SD memory card.

Using this data, it is possible to quickly reproduce the appropriate white shading adjustment even after switching lenses.

<Notes>

O The method below can be used for the white shading adjustments with most lenses. However, with some very special lenses, a different adjustment method may be necessary.

O Even when the white shading has been adjusted, tinting may occur in the vertical direction near the lens aperture open position. This is a phenomenon which is inherent to lenses and optical systems and is not indicative of malfunctioning.

Storing white shading adjustment values

1 Attach the lens to the camera.

At this stage, do not forget to connect the lens cable.

2 Set the electronic shutter to OFF, and set the gain to “L (0 dB).”

GAIN: L (0 dB)

SHUTTER: OFF

3 If the lens is provided with an extender, disengage the extender function.

4 Perform the menu operations (pages 86 to 88), and display the “VF DISPLAY” screen of FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 2.
