This function compresses the video signal level to extend the dynamic
range making it possible to correctly render highlight areas without
overexposure and loss of detail that would otherwise occur.

• Larger values indicate a higher compression level of highlight areas.
• Only effective in 50i (60i) and 50P (60P) VIDEO CAM.

(Camera) Selects gamma curve.
HD NORM:
This gamma setting is suitable for HD shooting.
LOW:
LOW: Makes a mellow image using the gamma curve which has a
gentle incline in low-brightness curve. The contrast sharpens.
SD NORM:
This is the normal video setting, carried over from the DVX100 series.
HIGH:
Expands the tone of dark parts and makes a brighter image using the

When you select CINE-LIKE gamma, we recommend to set the lens
aperture lower than normal image level (approximately 1/2) to enjoy the
full benefit of the function.
(Camera) To avoid overexposure, select the compression level (knee point) of the
high intensity video signals received through CCD.
AUTO:
Sets the level automatically according to the received signals.
LOW:
Low setting (Compression starts at approx. 80%.)
MID:
Medium setting (Compression starts at approx. 90%.)
HIGH:
High Setting (Compression starts at approx. 100%.)
