Get the Black Balance
Get the Black Balance
Get the black balance (noise and black level correction data) to correct the fixed pattern noise of
the sensor.
Noise can be generated on the image sensor used with the Q1ｍ/Q1v depending on the temperature of the
sensor or the recording settings. This noise is called fixed pattern noise and has a pattern that differs for
each sensor. The Q1m/Q1v reads the image sensor temperature and noise reduction is performed
automatically according to the recorded image correction data but if a better image quality is desired, we
recommend getting the black balance just before filming.
Get the black
balance

Start Recording (ARM Mode)
In the ARM mode, the Q1m/Q1v continues recording images to the memory. The memory has a cyclic structure
(ring buffer), and once that section of the memory is full, the old images are erased in the order from the
first image recorded and the new images are overwritten.
This operation continues until the trigger is input, when the overwrite recording is stopped according to the
trigger input and trigger timing settings.

Memory Backup
Memory Backup
When the memory backup function is enabled, it is possible to save recorded images in the memory
even if the power to the main unit is turned OFF by using the power from the AC adapter or
internal battery.
If the AC adapter power is turned OFF when there is not enough charge in the battery, the
recorded images will be lost.
The memory backup is an additional function to prevent loss of images due to unexpected
power outages. We strongly recommend turning the power off after saving any necessary
images (A 3-27).
■ Enable Memory Backup
The memory backup function is enabled after recording has started so even if the main unit power is turned
OFF during recording, the power supply from the AC adapter or the internal backup battery (hereafter,
battery) can save the images just recorded. If power is not supplied from the AC adapter, it switches to the
memory backup battery.
If memory backup is enabled, the MEM BACKUP status LED lights up or flashes.
Green
：Memory backup enabled (AC power＋battery)
The memory backup is enabled (video saved in the memory)
and if the battery
is connected, BATT is lit.
If the video is saved in the memory while the
Q1m/Q1v is operating, BATT is
lit.

If the memory backup is disabled (video not recorded in the memory),
BATT is not lit.
Since the charge is affected by the individual differences in batteries and ambient
temperature, the display is not exact. Use as an approximation.
If the LED switches from flashing orange to red during memory backup with the battery,
charge as soon as possible.
