performed.
During adjustment, "ABB: EXECUTING" is
displayed on the viewfinder screen. If the
adjustment process succeeds, the message "ABB:
OK" appears.
Note
During black balance adjustment, the gain switching
circuit will work automatically, and the viewfinder
screen will flicker several times. This is not a
malfunction.
