Black Balance Adjustment - Panasonic AW-RP555N Operating Instructions Manual

Operation
Black balance adjustment
The black balance must be adjusted when the equipment
is used for the first time, when it has not been used for a
prolonged time, when the ambient temperature has changed
significantly or when one season gives way to another.
If the equipment is to be used under conditions which are
identical to the entered settings, no further adjustments are
necessary.
When the black balance is adjusted again, the previously
entered settings will be deleted and replaced by the new
conditions.
Automatic adjustment of black balance
1. Select the pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL
button.
2. Press the IRIS button to set the currently selected pan/tilt
head system to the AUTO mode (the IRIS button's lamp
now comes on).
3. Press the ABC button.
The ABC button's lamp flashes, the lens iris is
automatically stopped down, and the black balance
is automatically adjusted. Once the adjustment has
been performed correctly, the lamp goes off, and the
conditions set are entered in the memory.
The ABC button's lamp will remain lighted if it was not
possible for the adjustment to be performed. In this case,
repeat the adjustment procedure.
 It may not be possible to adjust the black balance
if the total pedestal is too low. In this case, adjust
the total pedestal again, and then repeat the black
balance adjustment.
 The ABC button's lamp goes off even if the black
balance adjustment was not performed correctly
in cases where a pan/tilt head system other than
the AW-PH350, AW-PH360 or AW-PH650 is being
used.
4. Select the next pan/tilt head system using the CONTROL
button, and continue adjusting the black balance in each
system concerned.
