Special extended range gammas that

dynamic range and a more film like
highlight roll-off. Exposure levels
should be slightly lower (1/2 to one
stop lower) than STD gammas.
Looking in the menu you will see
each Hypergamma described by a 7
character name. The first 3
characters are the dynamic range in
th

9 = 109%. The number after the G is
the nominal middle grey exposure
level in %.
Use HG with high G for low key
scenes, low G for high key scenes.
