Chapter 5 Adjustments and Settings

Correct adjustment of the black balance is important for optimum operation of a video camera. It is necessary when using the camera for the first time or after a significant period out of use, and also when there has been a sudden change in temperature.

The adjustment value is saved in memory, and readjustment is not normally necessary after powering the camera off or simply when lighting conditions change.
