Due to the lens used or the environmental condition, color shading may occur at the upper and lower edge of the screen. If this happens, the shading correction function can be used to decrease the amount of color shading. For shading correction of the unit, SET (Automatic shading correction), MANUAL (Manual shading correction), and OFF (no shading correction) modes are provided. Select the mode on the OPTION menu. (Refer to the item “7.2 (7) (7.2) Changing shading correction mode”.)

䍃If the color bar pattern is displayed on the screen or if the index menu/menu is displayed, press the [DISP] button to remove them from the screen.
䊶Push the [MENU UP] button for approx. 1 second.
䊶When the automatic shading correction operation starts, the character SHD blinks on the screen.
䊶When the automatic shading correction operation terminates, the character SHD ends blinking and the result is displayed for approx. 1 second.
