Adjusting the Black Balance and White Balance

In order to maintain high picture quality when using the camera, it is necessary to set the black balance and white balance appropriately for the conditions.

Note

When a CCU or an external control device, such as an RCP/ RM, is connected, the black balance and white balance are controlled from the external device or the HKCU-FP1 attached to the CCU, and adjustment on the camera is disabled.

Black balance adjustment

The black balance needs adjustment in situations like the following:

•The first time the camera is used

•When the camera is used after a long period of disuse

•When the surrounding temperature changes greatly

•When the gain value is changed using the setup menus Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance every time the camera is turned on.

White balance adjustment

Always adjust the white balance when lighting conditions change.

To adjust the black balance

Push the AUTO W/B BAL switch to BLK.
