Creative Versatility

Knee Saturation
Shooting very bright portions of an object
(such as key light conditions from a per-
son's forehead) can reduce colour satura-
tion and change the hue in highlight areas.
The HDC-3300 adopts a knee saturation
function, in which this "washed-out" effect
on saturation and hue change is reduced
to a minimum and offers far more natural
colour reproduction in highlight areas.
Low Key Saturation
With traditional video cameras, low light
areas can be subject to a reduction in sat-
uration. This can result in colours in those
areas being "washed-out". The low key
saturation function on the HDC-3300 elim-
inates this problem by optimising the
amplification of colour saturation at low
light levels by boosting it to an optimised
level, thus providing more natural colour
reproduction.
Triple Skin Tone Detail Control
The HDC-3300 comes equipped with a
triple skin tone detail control function,
which allows for independent detail con-
trol over three specified colours. This
enhances the capability of skin tone detail
correction – enabling one colour selection
to be used for reducing the detail level of
skin colour and two other selections to be
used for either increasing or decreasing
the detail level of two other objects. This
can be a powerful imaging tool not avail-
able in film shooting.
Other Features of the HDC-3300
