Black balance adjustment

Black balance must be adjusted in the following instances:

  • When the camera is used for the first time

  • When used after a long period of time without use

  • When the ambient temperature has changed considerably

  • When super gain is set with the USER button

  • When the [CAMERA] menu → [USER SW] → [USER1] to [USER5] → [DS.GAIN] is assigned

  • When the digital super gain assignment is changed in the [CAMERA] menu → [USER SW GAIN] → [DS.GAIN]

  • When toggling items in the [SYSTEM] menu → [REC FORMAT].

To shoot optimum video, we recommend adjusting the black balance immediately before shooting.

Before adjusting the black balance, prepare the conditions for adjusting the white balance.

Press the <AUTO W/B BAL> switch towards <ABB> side and then release it.

The switch returns to the central position and the black balance will be automatically adjusted.

Adjustment is completed in several seconds.
