Film mode (FILM MENU)
Two types of film-like images can be achieved in this
mode.
FILM REC (for films: film gamma)
This is the optimum mode for printing the images
recorded on tape onto film and presenting them.
The images are processed using the film-use cine
gamma characteristics developed by Panasonic.
VIDEO REC (for videos: film tone gamma)
Even when playing back images recorded on tape
using a video component, this mode provides a
wide dynamic range, enabling images to be played
back in a mode where the images are more like film
images than the conventional video images.
The images are processed using the video-use cine
gamma characteristics developed by Panasonic.
The menu settings performed in the film mode and
video mode are saved separately.
