Setting The Camera Outputs - Sony HXC-FB80 Operating Instructions Manual

FLICKER: Set the function for flickering the detail signal to
ON/OFF. (Setting the function to ON makes it easier to

ZOOM LINK: Set the VF detail level at the full WIDE position.
(The VF detail level changes according to the zoom
position. The default setting is no change at the 100%
WIDE position, and half at 50%.)

Setting COLOR DETAIL to ON converts the VF detail signal
to a color. The display color can be selected in the column next

the detail signal is strongest on/off.
CHROMA LEVEL: Reduce the chroma components of the

Displaying the focus assist indicators
The focus assist indicator function extracts the irregularities of a
subject and converts the integrated values to a level indicator for
display in the viewfinder.
Level indicator (display position and operation can
be adjusted)
Area marker to display the detection area of the focus
(size and position can be adjusted)
The focus setting where the indicator shows the maximum level is
the best focus setting. (The width of the indicator substantially
changes depending on the picture content and shooting
environment. Adjust using GAIN and OFFSET, as required.)

Setting AREA MARKER to ON displays an area marker
indicating the focus detection area on the monitor.
You can set the size and position of the detection area with the
menu items below.
SIZE: Change the size of the detection area. (If the detection
area size is too large, both the subject and the background
are included in the area, making the indicator display
deviate from the subject.)
POSITION: Roughly set the position of the detection area.
POSITION H: Fine adjustment of the position of the detection
area in the horizontal direction.
POSITION V: Fine adjustment of the position of the detection
area in the vertical direction.
Notes
• The level indicator and effect area marker cannot be displayed at the same
time. The one that was set to ON last takes precedence.
• The area marker and aspect safety marker cannot be displayed at the same
time. The one that was set to ON last takes precedence.
• When displaying the focus assist indicators, check that the flange focal
length (flange back) has been precisely adjusted (see page 24).

Setting the Camera Outputs

You can specify video signals directly output from the camera using
the menu.
Note
The MAIN (camera picture), RET (return video), or VF (the same picture as
that displayed in the viewfinder) settings are common to SD-SDI and VBS.
Different signals cannot be output.
The menu pages used for the output settings are registered in the
USER menu by factory default.
• <SDI OUT> (U17)
• <TEST OUT> (U16)
For details about the USER menu, see "Editing the USER Menu"
(page 37).
Set the items on each page as follows.
Outputting the signal being shot (camera picture)
The same textual information as that displayed in the viewfinder can
be added to the output signal by setting CHARACTER to ON on the
<SDI OUT> or <TEST OUT> page.
