Standard for normal shooting.
High Saturation for strong vivid
colors.
FL Light – to remove green color cast
present when shooting under some
fluorescent or LED lights.
Cinema – Subdued colors to mimic
film style colors. (Paint – Matrix –
Preset Matrix – ON PLUS Preset
Select).
The user matrix allows you to alter
the way the camera combines colors
to give accurate hues and shades.
Difficult to adjust unless you know
what you are doing. (Paint – Matrix –
User Matrix).
An easier to use way of adjusting the
colors the camera reproduces. You
can take multiple colors by selecting
several different AXIS settings and
adjust the saturation and hue of those
colors. Be careful as this can
sometimes result in odd behavior on
colors that sit on the boundary
between two axis. (Paint – Multi-
matrix).
Detail boosts the contrast around
edges making the image appear
sharper. May look artificial if set too
high. If doing post production grading
I recommend you turn Detail OFF as
you can always sharpen in post and
excessive in camera sharpening can
restrict how much you can grade your
footage. (Paint – Detail). The default
detail level of 0 is adding noticeable
edge enhancement. A level of -23 is
the same as detail off. Lower than -23
and the image softens.
