c. Black balance adjustment.
This adjustment is needed when the camera is used for the first
time, after being unused for a long time, or when the ambient tem-
perature changes significantly (i.e. seasonal changes).
Note After adjusting the black balance, re-adjustment is not needed under the
same conditions.
d. Flange back adjustment for zoom lens
This adjustment is used to set the focus range of the zoom lens from
maximum (telephoto) to wide angle.
Note This adjustment is performed at the factory and will typically not need to be
performed in the field, unless it is necessary to change the lens.
• Fully open the iris by shooting a dark object from a distance of
at least 6.6 ft (2 m).
• Loosen the flange back fixing knob.
