  • When using after not used for long period of time

Place the cap on the lens.

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

Select [MENU] → [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] (or [CAMERA SETTINGS]) → [BLACK] → [ABB] → [EXECUTE].

Do not remove the lens cap or turn the power off while [ABB ACTIVE] is displayed.

Select [MENU] → [SCENE FILE SETTINGS] → [BLACK], or [MENU] → [SYSTEM SETTINGS] → [COLOR SETTINGS].

Select one from [M.PED]/[R PED]/[G PED]/[B PED].

  • [M.PED] (master pedestal):

    Adjusts the standard black level for the entire video. The adjusted value is inherited even when the automatic black balance is executed.
