During adjustment, the following message is displayed on the viewfinder
screen.
The black balance adjustment ends in a few seconds with the message
"BLACK:OK" and the adjustment setting is automatically stored in
memory.
Notes
• During the black balance adjustment, the iris is automatically closed.
• During the black balance adjustment, the gain selection circuit is
automatically activated so you may see flickering on the viewfinder
screen, but this is not a fault.
