Operation

Automatic adjustment of black balance

Black balance adjustment

The black balance must be adjusted when the equipment 
is used for the first time, when it has not been used for a 
prolonged time, when the ambient temperature has changed 
significantly or when one season gives way to another.
If the equipment is to be used under conditions which are 
identical to the entered settings, no further adjustments are 
necessary.
When the black balance is adjusted again, the previously 
entered settings will be deleted and replaced by the new 
conditions.
