Color Correction - Canon XL H1S Instruction Manual

Color Correction

With the color correction function you can set the camcorder to detect the characteristics of a certain
color or pattern (color phase, chroma, area and Y level) and correct them automatically when recording.
You can set the color correction for up to two different colors (A and B).
When determining the color to be corrected, targeted areas will be identified on the screen by zebra
pattern alternating with the normal picture. On a connected monitor or computer, targeted areas will be
identified by white areas alternating with the normal picture.
