Adjusting the Color and
Picture Quality
Compensating for the Input Signals
A video image recorded under poor conditions may be of
poor color quality. If the signal is an NTSC or PAL
composite video signal or separate luminance (Y) and
chrominance (C) signals, you can correct the color and
level of the input signal to a certain extent.
Note
You cannot adjust an image once it has been captured in
memory. If you want to make adjustments, capture that
image again, after making the adjustment.
Confirmation
When the memory image is displayed on the video
monitor, press the SOURCE/MEMORY button to display
the image from the video source.

b) On a setting of step –14, OFF appears and the image, displayed
on the video monitor, becomes black and white.
c) When a component (RGB or YPbPr signal) signal is input, you
cannot adjust OFFSET below 0.
Adjusting the contrast of printouts
When you want to change the contrast of printouts without
changing the contrast of the video monitor, compensate for
the level of the input signal using the IRE item in the
SYSTEM SETUP menu.
Items to be used when adjusting the contrast
of printouts
The selected IRE is displayed in three digits.

Resetting to the standard adjustment

The printout is whitish.
The printout is very whitish.
Notes
• Do not compensate for the input signal too much. Doing
so results in the whole of the printout becoming dark.
• To have the adjustment result reflected in the printout,
you need to capture a new image.
Matching the Video Monitor Color to
the Printer Color
To match the color of the monitor image to that of the
printout, adjust the monitor and printer colors such that the
monitor color is the same as that of the printout.
The printer outputs either of two kinds of video signals
based on the printer settings.
• EE (E to E): Signals are output to the monitor after being
processed by the printer's circuitry.
• THRU (THROUGH): Signals are output to the monitor
as is.
