Adjusting the ND offset values

If an ND filter is attached to the matte box, etc., the white balance may be in variance. In such a case, adjust the ND offset so that you can retrieve the white balance compensation value using the ND filter selection page on the subdisplay.

The offset values ND: 2 to 5 are stored with respect to the

white balance stored for ND: 1 as the reference.

Adjustment procedure

1 Switch the camera to Custom mode, referring to “3-1- 2 Switching of the Basic Operation Modes” (page 27).

2 Execute STANDARD on the <REFERENCE> page of the FILE menu.3 Execute AUTO BLACK on the <AUTO SETUP> page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

4 Connect a waveform monitor via the MONITOR OUT HD SDI connector 1 or 2 of the camera.

5 Attach the ND filter having the lowest permeability among the ND filters to be used with this camera, and shoot a gray-scale chart.

Check that the lighting condition permits a video level in the range of 560 to 630 mV to be obtained and write down the current video level.

Note

If a video level in the range of 560 to 630 mV cannot be obtained, do not adjust the ND offsets.

6 Attach the ND filter to be used as the reference for white balance adjustment and select ND: 1.

7 Adjust the iris of the lens so that the video level you wrote down in step 5 is obtained.

8 Perform the auto white balance adjustment.9 Replace the ND filter, change to ND: 2, and repeat steps 7 and 8.10Replace the ND filter, change to ND: 3 and repeat steps 7 and 8.11Replace the ND filter, change to ND: 4 and repeat steps 7 and 8.12Replace the ND filter, change to ND: 5 and repeat steps 7 and 8.
