PREPARATIONS FOR OPERATION White Shading Adjustment It is necessary to perform this adjustment to the camera when attaching a lens that is different from the previously attached lens. Even if white balance is achieved in the middle of the screen, it may not be achieved at the top and bottom of the screen. Greens and magentas may be colored. This is due to characteristics of the lens. Correcting this phenomenon is called White Shading Adjustment. Perform this after adjusting white balance. White shading adjustment is performed on the WHITE BALANCE menu screen. Adjustment procedure 1. White balance the camera. 2. Set the camera's lens controls as follows: a.Set the IRIS opening to F4 or higher number. b.In the case of a zoom lens set the ZOOM at the center of its range. 3. Shoot a uniformly lit white sheet of paper and fill the mon- itor screen with it. 4. Set the monitor CHROMA level to maximum. 5. Check the color of the monitor screen. If the top and the bottom of the monitor screen are white then no adjustment is necessary. If the top of the monitor screen is greenish and the bottom is reddish or if the top is reddish and the bottom is greenish then continue with this adjustment. 6. Adjust the LEVEL G in the SHADING menu item to mini- mize the color difference between the top and bottom of the screen. 7. It is recommended that only LEVEL G be adjusted. 1 Display the WHITE BALANCE menu screen. Follow the steps in "Setting Menu Screens" on page 72 and proceed as follows.
