3-1-1 Overview of the Basic
Operation Modes
With this camera, Cine-EI mode, Cine mode and Custom
mode can be switched. Cine-EI mode and Cine mode are
designed for shooting the materials that will undergo post-
production editing and that do not need on-set grading, as
with shooting with a film camera. Custom mode is
designed for shooting with all the setting items of the
camera set as you wish.
The items that can be set and the selectable values on the
menus and from the remote control unit are different
among Cine-EI mode, Cine mode and Custom mode.
Cine-EI mode (default mode)
• With the camera gain fixed, shooting is achieved using a
light meter at your specified sensitivity.
• The sensitivity can be selected from among ISO 450
(standard), 640, 800, and 1000.
• As the camera gain is fixed, the higher you set the
sensitivity, the darker shot images will be.
• Afterward in the postproduction process, raise the gain
to the value that corresponds to the sensitivity specified
for shooting.
• Although the camera output of the main line may
become dark, proper monitoring is enabled, as
appropriate LUT for the selected sensitivity is
automatically applied to each of the VF and monitor
outputs.
• The gain display is replaced by the EI display, and the
color space is fixed to S-GAMUT.
• The subdisplay and the USER menu are mainly used.
• The items related to image creation are fixed at the
factory-set values, and menu displays are simplified.
• Only auto black balance (ABB) can be activated as auto
setup.
The white balance level is fixed at the preset value

data presetting are enabled only for the operator file that
