‹Note
This operation does not delete the scene file, lens file, and
the information stored as the user data.
The built-in memory of the unit stores eight sets of lens
files.
On the SD memory card, eight titles for eight sets of lens
files in a table (total 64 sets) can be written.The following data are recorded on the lens file.
zTitle name
zWhite shading correction value
zFlare compensation value
zRB gain offset correction value
For the white shading adjustment, refer to [Adjusting the
Lens White Shading] (page 102)
Using the menu operations, open the 
screen from the MAINTENANCE page and adjust the flare
in the LENS R FLARE item, the LENS G FLARE item and
the LENS B FLARE item.
Example of the chart for flare adjustment
For correcting changes in white balance that may occur
when replacing the lens.
1Mount the lens as standard on the unit.
2Shoot the grayscale chart with appropriate lighting 
(2000 lx, 3200 K are preferable).
3Set the WHITE BAL switch to the “A” position.
4Adjust the lens aperture so that the white window at 
the center of the grayscale chart is about 80%.
5Push the AUTO W/B BAL switch to  AWB¡ to adjust 
the white balance automatically.
6Measure the signal level of RGB by using the 
waveform monitor (WFM).
7Replace the lens to one where a lens file is provided.
8Adjust the lens aperture so that the signal level of Gch 
isthe same signal level as the one obtained in 
6 
above.
9Using the menu operations, open the  screen from the MAINTENANCE page and set 
the RB GAIN CTRL RESET to ON.
10Adjust the signal level of Rch to be the same as Gch 
in the LENS R OFFSET item.
11In the same way, adjust the signal level of Bch to be 
the same as Gch in the LENS B OFFSET item.

1Connect the external DC power supply to the DC IN 
socket on the unit.
2Turn “ON” the power switch of the external DC power 
supply. (If the power switch is available on the external 
DC power supply)
3Turn ON the POWER switch on the unit.
‹Notes
zIf both the battery pack and the external DC power
supply are connected, the electric power is supplied
from the external DC power supply. While the
external DC power supply is used, the battery can
be mounted and removed on/from the unit. 
zWhen the external DC power supply is used, ensure
that the power switch of the external DC power supply
is turned on first and then the POWER switch on the
unit is turned on. In the case of the reverse operation,
a malfunction may occur on the unit since the output
voltage of the external DC power supply is raised
slowly.
Use of the external DC power supply
DC IN Socket
External DC
power supply 
Inrush current is generated when the power of the unit
is turned on. Insufficient power supply when turning
on the power may cause a malfunction. We recom-
mend using an external DC power supply with double
the capacity of the total power consumption of the unit
and any other connected device that is turned by inter-
locking with the power on of the unit (the viewfinder).
Select the DC cord that is recommended for the exter-
nal DC power supply.
Confirm the pin arrangements of the DC output
connector of the external DC power supply and the
DC IN socket on the unit, and connect the proper
polarities to each other.
If the +12 V power supply is connected to the GND
connector in error, it may cause a fire or failure of
the unit.
