Suppresses Blocked Shadows and Blown Highlights
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each
pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades
are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for
each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The
images that result are enhanced by a visually wider dynamic range.

Cine-like Gamma Curves
7-mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam HD camera recorders
for digital cinema, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HCK10G with
advanced gamma functions that address seven different shooting
scenarios and enhance your creative abilities. This includes the cine-like
gamma, which produces the characteristic warm tone of film recordings.
AG-HCK10G Gamma Modes
HD NORM Suitable for HD recording
LOW Works to flatten out a high contrast scene
SD NORM Normal setting for SD (This was available in the DVX100 series.)
HIGH Expands the tone of dark parts and make a brighter image. The contrast softens
B.PRESS Makes the contrast sharper than LOW
CINE-LIKE-D The Cine-like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range
CINE-LIKE-V The Cine-like mode shifted to prioritize contrast
Quick, Easy Focusing
HD Focus Assist Function
In addition to the center zoom function, which enlarges the center area of
the image for easier focusing, a focus bar can be displayed to indicate the
focus level by the length of the bar. A peak hold function in the focus bar
makes it easy to find the optimal focus position. The One-Push Auto Focus
mode also lets you temporarily switch to AF mode during manual focusing.

Wide Range of Settings
Slow Shutter and Synchro Scan Functions
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation
method provides bright-color images with less noise than those captured
using conventional gain-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for
nighttime shooting without illumination.
