Chapter 2
Operation
To obtain images with a natural color balance, carry out black balance
adjustment in the following cases. The adjustment setting is preserved for
about ten years, even when the unit is powered off.
• When using the camera for the first time
• When you have replaced the camera
• When the camera has not been used for a long interval
• When the ambient temperature has changed greatly
• At the change of the seasons
Use the following procedure to carry out black balance adjustment.
1
Check that the lens is in automatic iris mode.
Note
If you are using a lens with no automatic iris function, close the iris
completely.
2
Hold down the BB button on the remote controller for at least two
seconds.
This automatically closes the lens iris completely, and carries out black
balance adjustment. The message “Reading Color Table...” appears on
the monitor screen.
The image on the monitor screen may flicker while the adjustment is in
progress, but this is not a fault.
When the adjustment is completed, the message “BB:OK” appears.
If the adjustment was not achieved
The message “BB:NG Please try again” appears. Repeat the above
procedure.
