    negative hue transition point red colour point P200 Colour Matrix controls allow you to adjust the colour offset in a negative (counter clockwise) or positive (clockwise) direction, effectively moving the cameras response to any colour towards its neighbouring colour transition point. Adjusting individual colour Hue can assist dramatically in matching colour representation from the camera to true-to like colours or matching P200 to other cameras in your production.

  • Page 43: Image Enhancement

    Image Enhancement The image enhancement properties allow for adjustments and fine control of the cameras perfor- mance including video enhancement, detail enhancement and exposure enhancement. Enabling video enhancement will attempt to adjust the amount of detail and gain for both the shadows and highlights of the image.

  • Page 44: Detail Enhancement

    Detail Enhancement The Detail Enhancement section adjusts the definition of edges in the image and overall image sharp- ness. Exposure Enhancement Gamma offset adjusts the way the camera will handle the relationship between dark and light areas across the overall image. This can be represented as a positive or negative number. A negative or lower number places more bias towards the shadows giving more detail to the darker areas of the image.
