Highlight Handling
Sony Advanced TruEye™ processing allows much
improved highlight handling, with faithful colour reproduction.
Increased Dynamic Range
(HDW-730S and HDW-750P with version 2 software only)
Version 2 software offers a significant boost in the latitude
of the camcorder to give a more film-like dynamic transfer
characteristic. This allows far more detail to be seen in the
highlight and lowlight areas of the image.

Adaptive Highlight Control (Auto Knee mode)
The Sony ADSP system intelligently monitors the brightness
of all areas of the picture and automatically adapts the knee
point/slope for optimum reproduction within given areas of
the scene area. A typical example is the ability to shoot an
interior scene which includes a sunlit exterior seen through
a window.
Knee Saturation Function
The Sony TruEye processor is one of the most innovative
features of Sony's ADSP development and makes it possible
to reproduce very natural colours in a high contrast scene.
Without TruEye, when only knee correction is applied to the
RGB channels, a colour distortion in highlight areas will
occur. A typical example is human skin tones which tend
to take on a yellow tone in highlights. Knee Saturation
processing automatically retains accurate colour in highlight
areas and maintains colour saturation in picture areas
compensated by the TruEye processor.
