NOTE
t
Even if color temperature is set manually, the color temperature adjusted automatically is recorded to the setting of the <WHITE BAL> switch at
that time if white balance is automatically adjusted. The value of the color temperature also changed when the position of the <CC FILTER> dial is
switched.
Black balance adjustment
Black balance must be adjusted in the following instances:
f

f

Make sure that the lens connector is connected and that the lens aperture is in the close mode.

During black balance adjustment, the aperture is set to automatically shut out light.
t
During recording, black balance cannot be adjusted.
t
Video is not recorded to the memory card even if the <REC> button is pressed while executing the automatic black balance.
t
The gain switching circuit is automatically switched during black balance adjustment. Flicker or noise sometimes appears on the viewfinder screen and
LCD monitor. This is not a malfunction.

Even after automatic black balance has ended, if black shading is a cause for concern, select the [CAMERA] menu

[ON] and hold down
the <AUTO W/B BAL> switch for two seconds or more to adjust black shading. [BLACK SHADING READY] will be displayed in the viewfinder, and
black shading can be automatically adjusted after the automatic black balance operation. While black shading is being adjusted, [BLACK SHADING
ACTIVE] will be displayed in the viewfinder. After this, be sure to close down the lens aperture until [BLACK SHADING OK] is displayed in the
viewfinder.
t
When black balance is being automatically adjusted (when [ABB ACTIVE] is displayed in the viewfinder), adjustment is canceled by pushing the
<AUTO W/B BAL> switch towards <ABB> side again. The adjustment values will return to the values before automatic adjustment was performed.
