black balance before making any other picture

performed.
During adjustment, "ABB: EXECUTING" is
displayed on the viewfinder screen. If the
adjustment process succeeds, the message "ABB:
OK" appears.
Notes
• During black balance adjustment, the gain switching
circuit will work automatically, and the viewfinder
screen will flicker several times. This is not a
malfunction.
• When the optional HKSR-9004 is installed, during
black balance adjustment, an ND filter switches to
CAP automatically and the camcorder's image sensor
is blocked.
If automatic black balance adjustment fails
If the automatic black balance adjustment process
fails, the error message "ABB: NG" appears on
the viewfinder screen for about three seconds.
If this error message appears, try adjusting the
black balance again.
If the error message continues to appear after
several attempts, the unit requires internal
inspection.
