Preparing the Camera

This section outlines the basic preparations for the camera.

Adjusting the Black Balance

The first time you use the camera or if there is a noticeable change in the blacks of the video signal
(such as when ambient temperature changes considerably), you can have the camera adjust the black
balance automatically.

1 Set the Q switch to OFF and prepare the camera.

• When using a compatible CINE-SERVO lens (A 71):

Attach the CINE-SERVO lens (A 23).
When using other lenses: Remove the lens if one is
attached to the camera, and attach the body cap to the
lens mount.

2 Set the Q switch to ON.

3 Press the ABB button.

• Alternatively, you can use the [Camera Setup] > [ABB]

setting.

4 Select [OK] and then press SET.

• The automatic black balance procedure will start. It will take approximately 40 seconds when the

frame rate is set to 23.98P.

5 When the message [Process completed successfully.] appears, press SET.

• If the sensor is not completely shielded from light, [ABB error] will appear on the screen. Press

SET and repeat the procedure from the beginning.

NOTES

• Adjusting the black balance is necessary in the following cases:

- After a long period of not using the camera.
- After sudden or extreme changes in ambient temperature.
- After resetting the camera's settings using either option in the [Other Functions] > [Reset]

setting.

• During the adjustment of the black balance, you may notice some irregular displays appear on the

screen. This is not a malfunction.

• After adjusting the black balance with a CINE-SERVO lens attached to the camera, you will need to

readjust the aperture.
