The black balance adjustment ends in a few seconds with the message “BLACK : OK,” and the adjustment setting is automatically stored in memory.
Notes
•During the black balance adjustment, the iris is automatically closed.
•During the black balance adjustment, the gain selection circuit is automatically activated so you may see flickering on the viewfinder screen, but this is not a fault.
