The black balance adjustment ends in a few seconds
with the message “ABB:OK” and the adjustment value
is automatically stored in memory.
• During the black balance adjustment, the iris is closed
automatically.
• During the black balance adjustment, the gain selection
circuit is activated automatically; so you may see
flickering on the viewfinder screen, but this is not a fault.
If automatic black balance adjustment
cannot be made
If the black balance adjustment cannot be completed
normally, an error message will appear for about 3 seconds
on the viewfinder screen (in display mode 2 or 3).
Possible messages are listed below.
If any of the above error messages is displayed, retry the
black balance adjustment.
Keep pushing the AUTO W/B BAL to BLK until
“-BLACK SET-” appears after “-BLACK BALANCE-”
appears. If the error message occurs again, contact your
Sony service representative.
If the lens cable is not firmly connected to the LENS
connector, it may not be possible to adjust the lens iris. If
this happens, the black balance will be incorrect.
Black balance memory
Values stored in memory are held until the black balance is
adjusted again.
4-1-2 Adjusting the White Balance
Adjusting the white balance automatically
When you make automatic white balance adjustments, the
adjustment value obtained is saved in memory.
