How to create lens files

For details on adjusting white shading, refer to “White shading compensation”.

Adjust flare by [LENS R FLARE], [LENS G FLARE] and [LENS B FLARE] in the main menu → [MAINTENANCE] → [LENS FILE ADJ.].

Compensate for changes in white balance that occur when the lens is replaced.

Mount the lens to be used as a reference on the camera.

Shoot a grayscale chart under appropriate lighting (2000 lx or 3200 K preferred).

Set the <WHITE BAL> switch to <A>.

Adjust the lens aperture so that the white window in the center of the grayscale chart is about 80%.

Press the <AUTO W/B BAL> switch towards <AWB>.

White balance is automatically adjusted.

Measure the signal level of RGB in the waveform monitor.

Replace the lens with the one to be used for creating the lens file.

Fine-adjust the lens aperture so that the signal level of Gch becomes the same as the signal level obtained in step 6.

Set [ON] in the main menu → [MAINTENANCE] → [LENS FILE ADJ.] → [LENS FILE ADJ. MODE].

Adjust so that the signal level of Rch becomes the same as Gch in the main menu → [MAINTENANCE] → [LENS FILE ADJ.] → [LENS R GAIN OFFSET].

Likewise, adjust [LENS B GAIN OFFSET] so that the signal level of Bch becomes the same as Gch.
