Adjusting the Black Balance
In CAMERA mode, you can have the camera adjust the black balance automatically when ambient temperature
changes considerably or if there is a noticeable change in a true black video signal.

• If a lens was attached, turn off the camera and remove the lens. Place the body cap back on the lens mount
and turn on the camera.

Camera Setup] > [ABB] > [OK].
• The automatic black balance procedure will start. It may take about 1 minute depending on the frame rate.
3 When the confirmation message appears, press SET.
• If the sensor is not completely shielded from light, [Error] will appear on the screen. Repeat the procedure
from the beginning.
