[ABB] (auto black balance)

Adjust the auto black balance in following cases.

  • When the camera is used for the first time

  • When it has past extensive time after used previously

  • When the ambient temperature has changed extensively after used previously

Mount the cap on the lens.

  • Make sure the light does not get to the image sensor.

Select the [CAMERA SETTINGS] menu → [AUTO BLACK BALANCE] → [ABB] → [EXECUTE].

  • Do not remove the lens cap or set the power to < imageicon_standby > (standby) while [ABB ACTIVE] is displayed on the LCD monitor.

Pedestal (standard black level)

Select the [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] menu → [BLACK] → [M.PED]/[R PED]/[G PED]/[B PED].

[M.PED] (master pedestal): Adjusts the reference black level of the whole video. The adjusted value is maintained even when the auto black balance is executed.

[R PED] (red signal pedestal), [G PED] (green signal pedestal), [B PED] (blue signal pedestal): Adjusts the reference black level for each signal. Depending on the setting in the [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] menu → [BLACK] → [PEDESTAL OFFSET], it can be set if the adjusted value is to be maintained or not when the auto black balance is executed.
