CALIBRATE SENSOR: AUTO CAPTURE
The camera offers two (2) ways to calibrate the sensor: Manual Capture and Auto Capture. This section describes how
to calibrate the sensor with Auto Capture. For more information on Manual Capture, go to
When you start an Auto Capture, the camera calibrates the sensor at 16 exposure settings, and uses that data to build
a calibration curve. Afterward, the sensor is calibrated for each exposure along the calibration curve, so you do not
need to re- calibrate every time you change the exposure. The calibration process does not factor in multiple
temperatures, so you will need to re-calibrate the sensor after extreme changes in temperature. This process can take
up to 40 minutes.
To perform an Auto Capture, follow the instructions below:
1. Ensure that the camera reaches the temperature you want to use for your shoot.
2. Ensure that the sensor is as dark as possible.
Preferably, take off the lens, and install the front body cap.
If you cannot take off the lens, put a lens cap on the lens. (Not all lens caps completely block IR. Lens caps are
made to protect the lens, not necessarily to block light.)
If possible, use a dark room.
Just closing the aperture is NOT sufficient.
3. Ensure a properly formatted SSD is attached to the camera.

reminding you to cover the sensor.
5. Select

to continue. The system initializes and then makes multiple passes through the calibration phases.
6. When the Calibration Successful dialog displays, select
OK
to complete black shading.
NOTE:
When you change the exposure setting, the E indicator turns yellow and it may take up to 8 seconds for the
calibration map to load.
