Picture Controls
Choose a Picture Control according to the subject or type of scene.
Choose [Same as photo settings] to use the option currently selected for
photos. [Flat] preserves details over a wide tone range, from highlights
to shadows, making it a good choice for footage that will be tweaked in
post-production. Combining this option with highlight-weighted me-
tering minimizes loss of detail in highlights.
