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.

If automatic black balance adjustment cannot be made

If the black balance adjustment cannot be completed normally, an error

4 message will appear for about 3 seconds on the viewfinder screen (in display mode 2 or 3).

Possible messages are listed on the next page.
