Adjusting the Black Balance and White
Balance
In order to maintain high picture quality when using the
camera, it is necessary to set the black balance and white
balance appropriately for the conditions.

connected, the camera is controlled from the external control
device, and the switches on the camera are disabled.

Normally, there is no need to adjust the black balance every
time the camera is turned on.
