To reset the settings to their defaults, select the menu
option READ FACTORY DATA in the  screen,
which is accessible from the FILE page.
All settings will be reset to their defaults.
‹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 106)
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 GAIN OFFSET item.

							97Adjustments and Settings for Recording : Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
 Adjustments and Settings for Recording
CAC is a function that automatically corrects registration errors mainly caused by slight chromatic aberration, which cannot be 
corrected with lenses, and minimizes color weepage on the images.
Chromatic aberration means magnification ratio chromatic
aberration. Magnification ratio chromatic aberration is
caused by differences in the in red (R), green (G), and blue
(B) refractive indexes of a lens. The lens itself corrects chro-
matic aberration but the astigmatism remains in the sur-
rounding area in particular. The zooming ratio, iris, and focal
distance involves complicated chromatic aberration phenom-
ena in a zoom lens. Images have registration errors.
To correct the chromatic aberration, record the chromatic
aberration characteristics of the lens for the zooming ratio,
iris, and focal distance in the main unit of the camera
recorder and connect a lens suitable for these characteris-
tics. Then perform the correction in accordance with the
zooming ratio, iris, and focus distance of the lens.
The CAC data for the following four kinds of lenses are
stored in the unit at the time of shipment from the factory.
‹Note
After the release of this camera, visit our Web site at the
address given below for details on new lenses compatible
with this function and any changes in this function.
https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/
For the four lenses listed on the left
1Install the lens on the unit and connect the lens 
connector.
2Open the CAC ADJ MENU on the MAINTENANCE 
MENU screen.
3Turn ON the CAC CONTROL.

cides with the product number of the connected lens, 
the CAC data stored in the unit are read out automati-
cally.
1When the MENU is not displayed on the VF screen, 
press the mode check switch.
If letters of the CAC are indicated at the left top of the
