Chapter 5 Storage and Retrieval of User Setting Data
The ND offset adjustment stores white balance
compensation values for each filter, using the white
balance with the ND:1 and CC: A settings as a reference.
To adjust the ND offset values, proceed as follows:
1
Switch the camera to Custom mode, referring to “3-1-
2 Switching of the Basic Operation Modes” (page 26).
2
Execute STANDARD on the <REFERENCE> page of
the FILE menu.
3
Execute AUTO BLACK on the <AUTO SETUP> page
of the MAINTENANCE menu.
4
Connect a waveform monitor to the MONITOR OUT
HD SDI connector 1 or 2 of the camera.
5
Select ND: 4 and CC: E (see page 30) and shoot a
gray-scale chart.
Check that the lighting is in a condition that permits a
video level in the range of 560 to 630 mV to be
obtained, and write down the current video level.
If a video level in the range of 560 to 630 mV cannot
be obtained, do not adjust the ND offsets.
6
Select ND: 1 and CC: A.
7
Adjust the iris of the lens so that the video level you
wrote down in step 5 is obtained.
8
Perform the auto white balance adjustment.
9
Change to ND: 2 and repeat steps 7 and 8.
10
Change to ND: 3 and repeat steps 7 and 8.
11
Change to ND: 4 and repeat steps 7 and 8.
12
Change to ND: 1 and CC: E, then repeat steps 7 and 8.
13
Repeat steps 9 to 11.
14
Store the ND offset values in the OHB file, by
executing STORE FILE on the <OHB FILE> page of
the FILE menu.
Be sure to accurately adjust to the video level you noted in
step 5. If the level is not obtained through the iris
adjustment of the lens, use the shutter function or the
master gain adjustment.
To use the ND offset values
An appropriate offset value is automatically retrieved
when you change the ND filter setting.
To initialize the ND offset values
Perform ND OFFSET on the <OHB FILE> page (subpage
of the <FILE PRESET> page of the FILE menu) (see page
85).
