wow again! I knew that I had to do it but had absolutely no idea why. Will def be black balancing more often thanks to this explanation :)

I had never heard of this until I got my DVX200, which will do a black balance as well as a white balance when pressing and holding the white balance button. Personally, I always do this whenever I set a custom white balance, which happens at the beginning of almost all my shoots. Until now, I didn't really know what the function did. Just figured it had something to do with improving color accuracy in some way. Now I have a better idea of what's going on.

Hi. That too was really useful, I did n't know about the impact on noise levels. BobUK.

Thanks for the information. Please provide more information on sensor calibration......

@leonardosergiani4570 2 жыл бұрын

Very well done video, please I would like to know is it important that the camera stays still during the calibration? or I can hold it in my hands during the calibration phase, thanks

In the case of my GH5, "sensor cleaning" lasts a few seconds and I wonder if that's part of it. In my UX180 camcorder, a custom white balance will make the screen go black for a noticeable time too and again I'm thinking this process is built-in on both these cameras in that way.

Okay, is black balancing only for the pro camera's ? will i find something like it on a micro4/3 ? like a Lumix G7 ? so it is not a setting, but really to reset "confused" pixels.... White balance is what i thought more to balance all colors with a perfect white, at color temp for inside or outside light conditions, aka color temperature.

Many cameras do it on their own periodically. On the Sonys MILCs, you might notice that it clicks the shutter and takes extra 2s on shutdown. It does as black frame compensation right there. I haven't figured out if it does it every x shots or after x uptime, but I notice it sometimes.
