Adjustments and
Settings for Recording
Adjusting the Black Balance and
White Balance
In order to maintain high picture quality when using the
camera, it is necessary to set the black balance and white
balance appropriately for the conditions.
When a camera control unit or a remote control device,
such as MSU-900/950 and the RCP-700-series Remote
Control Panel, is connected, the black balance and white
balance are controlled from the external control device and
controls on the camera are disabled.
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.
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.
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
In automatic adjustment of black balance, both the black
set and black balance are adjusted.
