Adjustments and Settings for Shooting

Adjusting the Black Balance and White
Balance

In order to maintain high picture quality, it is necessary to set
the black balance and white balance appropriately for the
conditions.

Black balance adjustment

The black balance needs adjustment in situations like the
following:

• The first time the camera is used

• When the camera is used after a long period of disuse

• When the surrounding temperature changes greatly

• When the gain value is changed using the setup menus
Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance every
time the camera is turned on.

White balance adjustment

Always readjust the white balance when lighting conditions
change.

• During black balance adjustment, the gain switching circuit
will work automatically, and the viewfinder screen will flicker
several times. This is not a malfunction.

• If not in a completely shielded environment, attach the lens
cap and then execute auto black balance (ABB) adjustment.

When automatic black balance adjustment fails

If the automatic black balance adjustment process does not
end successfully, the error message “ABB : NG” will be
displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three
seconds.
If this error message is displayed, try black balance
adjustment again.
If the error message continues to be displayed after several
attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.

About black balance memory

The black balance values stored in memory will be preserved
even when the camera power is turned off.

Adjusting the white balance

1 Execute auto white balance (AWB) adjustment from

the MSU or RCP.

2 Select the filter setting according to the lighting

conditions.

About the viewfinder screen

After the process of adjusting the black balance or white
balance begins, messages about the progress and results of
the adjustment will be displayed on the viewfinder screen.

Note

Adjusted values set through automatic adjustment, and other
settings, are stored in the camera’s memory and preserved
even when the camera power is turned off.

Adjusting the black balance

Execute auto black balance (ABB) adjustment from the MSU
or RCP.
Automatic adjustment of black balance begins.
In automatic adjustment of black balance, both the black set
and black balance are adjusted.
During adjustment, a message like the one in the figure below
will be displayed on the viewfinder screen.

ABB:EXECUTING

Appendix

Standalone operation

Images displayed when not connected to a BPU4800 are for
confirmation of menu settings. The PAINT adjustment
functions do not operate.

Precautions

Note on laser beams

Laser beams may damage the CMOS image sensor. If you
shoot a scene that includes a laser beam, be careful not to let
a laser beam become directed into the CMOS image sensor of
the camera.

Do not subject to severe shocks

Damage to the case or internal components may result.

When finished using

Set the power switch to OFF.

Operation and storage environment

If operating the camera in low-temperature environments, it
may take up to 10 minutes, depending on the internal
temperature, before all functions are operating normally.
Store in a level place with air conditioning.
If the unit gets wet, make sure it is completely dry before
storage.
Avoid use or storage in the following places:

• Extremely hot or cold places

• Places with high humidity

• Places with strong vibration

• Near strong magnetic fields

• In places where it receives much direct sunlight, or near
heating equipment

Camera CMOS image sensor phenomena

Note

The following phenomena that may occur in images are
specific to image sensors. They do not indicate a malfunction.

White flecks

Although the image sensors are produced with high-precision
technologies, fine white flecks may be generated on the
screen in rare cases, caused by cosmic rays, etc.
This is related to the principle of image sensors and is not a
malfunction.
The white flecks especially tend to be seen in the following
cases:

• When operating at a high environmental temperature

• When you have raised the gain (sensitivity)

Flicker

If shooting under lighting produced by fluorescent lights,
sodium lamps, mercury-vapor lamps, or LEDs, the screen may
flicker or colors may vary.

To prevent electromagnetic interference from
portable communications devices

The use of portable telephones and other communications
devices near this camera can result in malfunctions and
interference with audio and video signals.
It is recommended that the portable communications devices
near this camera be powered off.

Condensation

If the unit is suddenly taken from a cold to a warm location, or
if ambient temperature suddenly rises, moisture may form on
the outer surface of the unit and/or inside of the unit. This is
known as condensation. If condensation occurs, turn off the
unit and wait until the condensation clears before operating
the unit. Operating the unit while condensation is present may
damage the unit.

Components with limited service life

• The fan and battery are consumable parts that will need
periodic replacement.
When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement
cycle will be about 5 years.
However, this replacement cycle represents only a general
guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of this
part is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement,
contact your dealer.

• The life expectancy of the electrolytic capacitor is about 5
years under normal operating temperatures and normal
usage (8 hours per day; 25 days per month).
If usage exceeds the above normal usage frequency, the life
expectancy may be reduced correspondingly.

Error Messages

If a problem occurs during operation, a warning message is
displayed.

Note

To display a message, set the DISPLAY switch to DISPLAY or
MENU.

Message Meaning

TEMP WARNING The internal temperature is abnormally

high.

FAN STOP The built-in fan is not rotating properly.
