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.
Note
When a camera control unit or a remote control device-such
as the MSU or RCP series-is connected, control is performed
from the RCP/MSU, and the switches 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.

balance begins, messages about the progress and results of
