Black balance adjustments
In order to reproduce the black accurately, adjust 
the zero level of all three RGB primary colors. 
If the black balance is not adjusted properly, 
not only will the black be reproduced poorly but 
the color tones of the entire screen will also be 
downgraded.
It is not normally necessary to adjust the black 
balance. Adjust it when:
You use the camera for the first time.
You use the camera after not using it for a long 
time.
The ambient temperature changes greatly.
You switch to the normal (OFF) shutter speed 
or to slow shutter.
You switch between the progressive and 
normal (60i
*
) modes. 
*
 50i when SYSTEM FREQ is set to 50 Hz
By pressing the AWB button, first the white 
balance is adjusted automatically, then the black 
balance is adjusted. Set the conditions for white 
balance adjustment before proceeding.
Only the black balance is adjusted when the 
WHITE BAL switch is set to PRST.
