is set to 23.98P or 24.00P.

• If the sensor is not completely shielded from light, [Error] will appear on the screen. Press SET and repeat
the procedure from the beginning.
NOTES
• Adjusting the black balance is necessary in the following cases:
- When using the camera for the very first time or after a long period of not using it.
- After sudden or extreme changes in ambient temperature.

- After resetting all the camera’s settings.
• During the adjustment of the black balance, you may notice some irregular displays appear on the screen. This
is not a malfunction.
