Adjusting the Black Balance
Solution
You can have the camcorder adjust the black balance automatically when ambient temperature changes considerably or if there is a noticeable change in a true black video signal.
1 Open the [ABB] screen.
[
] > [ABB]2 Attach the body cap to the lens mount.
3 Select [OK] and then press SET.
4 When the confirmation message appears, press SET.
NOTES
Adjusting the black balance may be necessary in the following cases:
When using the camcorder for the very first time or after a long period of not using it.
After sudden or extreme changes in ambient temperature.
After changing the ISO speed/gain settings.
The automatic black balance procedure will take approximately 40 seconds when the frame rate is set to 23.98P or 24.00P.
During the adjustment of the black balance, you may notice some irregular displays appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
Resetting the camcorder’s settings using the [Other Functions] > [Reset] > [All Settings] or [Camera Settings] menu option will reset also the black balance adjustment. In such case, perform the procedure again.
