Adjusting the white shading (continued)

Performing white shading adjustments

11 Set the ZEBRA switch on the viewfinder to ON.

12 Shoot a sheet of white paper devoid of colour irregularities.

<Note>

Since flicker tends to occur under fluorescent lights, mercury lamps and other such lights, use a source of light such as sunlight or a halogen lamp which does not tend to produce flicker.

13 Set the lens aperture to manual, and adjust the lens aperture in such a way that ZEBRA fills the whole screen.

Check that the lens aperture is between F/4 and F/11.

<Notes>

O Since unevenness in the lighting will make it impossible for ZEBRA to fill part of the screen, try adjusting the lighting position, etc.

O Try adjusting the lighting position, etc. also when the lens aperture is not between F/4 and F/11.

O Always be sure to leave the electronic shutter at OFF.
