color temperature.

camera for the first time, or if the camera has not been
used for a long period of time.
• Black balance adjustment is necessary if there is a big
change in the ambient temperature or at the turn of a

is necessary if the camera is used under the same
conditions.

When ABC Switch of the multi hybrid control panel is
pressed, the lens iris is automatically closed to set the
black balance. Keep IRIS AUTO/MANU Switch of the

setting the black balance. The auto set LED flashes
during black balance adjustment, and goes out when it
is finished normally. The LED remains lit if the adjust-
ment fails. In such a such, try to adjust it again.
Black balance adjustment may fail in some cases
where the total pedestal is too low. Adjust the total
pedestal with T.PED Control of the multi hybrid control
panel and adjust the black balance again.
