Adjustments and Settings for Recording: Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance
The black balance must be adjusted when:
You use your unit the first time.
Your unit has not been used for some time.
The ambient temperature has changed substantially.
The gain switchover value has been changed.
1
Set the switches as illustrated below.
2
Tilt the AUTO W/B BAL switch so that it is positioned at
[ABB], then release it.
The switch returns to the central position with the black
balance automatically adjusted.
3
During adjustment, the viewfinder displays the following
message:
Note
During adjustment, the lens iris automatically becomes
CLOSE.
4
The adjustment will take effect in a few seconds and the
following message will appear:
The adjusted value is automatically stored in the
memory.
Notes
Ensure that the lens connector is connected and the
lens iris is CLOSE.
During a black balance adjustment, light is
automatically cut off.
During a black balance adjustment, the gain
switchover circuit is automatically switched.
The viewfinder screen may flicker and/or display
noise; this is not a failure.
If you find the black shading annoying after
performing an auto black balance adjustment, adjust
the black shading. To do so, go to the menu option
DETECTION (DIG), move the cursor (), then press
the jog dial button.
The menu option DETECTION (DIG) can be found in
the <BLACK SHADING> screen on the
MAINTENANCE page.
Note that pressing the ABB switch for longer than
8 seconds automatically performs an auto black
balance adjustment, followed by an automatic black
shading adjustment. (For more information, see the
menu option SHD.ABB SW CTL in [SW MODE]
(page 187).)
However, when the remote control unit (AJ-RC10G,
optional) is connected, automatic black shading
cannot be executed even if the ABB switch is held
down.
To cancel the automatic black balance adjustment in
process (the viewfinder displays “ABB ACTIVE”), flip
the AUTO W/B BAL switch down to [ABB] again.
If automatic adjustment is canceled, the value in effect
before automatic adjustment will be used.
Each value in memory is retained even if the unit is turned
off.
