[SKIN TONE DTL.]
The skin of human subjects can be made to appear smoother when recorded.
The items that can be set are as follows.
≥ [ON], [OFF]
@ NOTE
0 If the background or anything else in the scene has colors similar to the skin color, they will also be smoothed.
0 If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may not be clear.
0 If you record a person in the distance, the face may not be recorded clearly. In this case, set [SKIN TONE DTL.] to [OFF] or zoom in on the face (close-
up) to record.
[MASTER PED]
Sets the master pedestal.
The items that can be set are as follows.
≥ [j70]...[i70]
[GAMMA MODE SEL]
Selects the gamma mode.
[HD]
[SD]
[FILMLIKE1]
[FILMLIKE2]
[FILMLIKE3]
[CINE-LIKE D]
[CINE-LIKE V]
[STILL LIKE]
[BLACK GAMMA]
Sets the gamma curves of dark areas.
[j4]...[j1]
[0]
[i1]...[i4]
[KNEE MODE]
To avoid overexposure, select the compression level of the high intensity video signals received through the image sensor.
[AUTO]
[LOW]
[MID]
[HIGH]
[DRS]
Switches enable/disable of the dynamic range stretcher function.
If functions are assigned to the USER buttons, [ON]/[OFF] can be switched using the USER button operations.
The items that can be set are as follows.
≥ [ON], [OFF]
[DRS EFFECT DEPTH]
Sets the compression level of the high luminosity areas of the dynamic range stretcher function.
By compressing the video signal levels of the high luminosity areas that are blown out in normal shooting, the dynamic range can be expanded.
The items that can be set are as follows.
≥ [1]...[3]
@ NOTE
0 As the number increases, the compression level of high luminosity areas increases, and there will be more noise in dark areas.
Chapter 4 Operation — Menu settings
Sets the gamma characteristics for HD (High Definition).
Increases gain in darker areas more than HD gamma.
Sets the characteristics that reproduce more highlight areas compared to HD gamma.
Sets the characteristics that reproduce more highlight areas compared to [FILMLIKE1].
Sets the characteristics that reproduce more highlight areas compared to [FILMLIKE2].
Sets gamma characteristics to produce images with an emphasis on contrast to provide a cinematic sensation.
Sets gamma characteristics to produce images that provide a cinematic sensation.
Sets the gamma characteristics for a digital still camera image tone.
Compresses dark parts.
Standard state
Expands dark areas.
Sets up automatically depending on the signal from the image sensor.
Low setting (Compression starts at approx. 80%.)
Medium setting (Compression starts at approx. 90%.)
High setting (Compression starts at approx. 100%.)
