Configuring Basic Camcorder Operation

Before shooting, configure the basic operation of
the camcorder to suit the application.
Shooting Mode
You can switch the shooting mode between
"Custom mode" to create images flexibly on-site,
and "Cine EI mode" (where the camcorder is
operated similarly to a film camera, with footage
developed in post production).
You can select the mode using Base Setting
(page 69) >Shooting Mode in the System menu.
Color Space
Color Space selects the base color gamut for
recorded signals and output signals.
When the shooting mode is set to Custom mode,
Color Space is set to Matrix.

setting, similar to conventional video cameras.
When the shooting mode is set to Cine EI mode,
Color Space selects the color gamut of the video
output with MLUT set to Off.
ˎ S-Gamut/SLog2: Wide color gamut comparable ˎ
to film cameras.
ˎ S-Gamut3.Cine/SLog3: Easy to adjust color ˎ
gamut for digital cinema (DCIP3).

compatibility with future standard gamuts,
optimized using Sony image distortion
correction technology.

(page 69) >Color Space in the System menu.
