and 59.94P systems. Signal output of 1080/50P and 59.94P
from the camera head is possible via the Dual Link
interface.
Newly designed unit with low center of
gravity
The basic design has been reworked. The stylish
appearance with low-slung design permits the viewfinder
to be mounted at a low position, making the viewfinder
position closer to the optical axis of the lens for highly
efficient operations.
Auto Lens Aberration Compensation
function
The Auto Lens Aberration Compensation function
(ALAC) is provided with this camera. This automatically
reduces chromatic aberration of magnification when a lens
that supports auto aberration compensation is attached.
For details on lenses supporting auto aberration
compensation, contact a Sony sales representative or Sony
service representative.
Focus assist functions
The VF detail function and focus assist indicator function
facilitate focusing.
VF detail
Various functions are provided for the VF detail signal,
which can be added only on images on the viewfinder
screen in order to facilitate focusing in various situations:
Functions for coloring the VF detail signal, flickering the
VF detail signal by adding modulation, thickening the VF
detail signal, and automatically compensating the VF
detail level according to the zoom position.
Focus assist indicator
The focusing level indicator on the viewfinder screen
provides a guide for focusing. The best focus setting can be
easily determined by observing fluctuation of the level
indicator as a guide.
"Memory Stick" 1) operation
The camera is equipped with a "Memory Stick" port,
which enables setup data storage and software upgrading
using a "Memory Stick."

Various color-reproduction functions
Selection of multiple gamma tables
Seven types of standard and 4 types of hyper gamma tables
are provided with this camera. The hyper gamma values
enable cinemalike image creations with wide dynamic
range, which are different from those achieved with
conventional video gamma.
HZC-UG444 User Gamma Application Software
Installing the HZC-UG444 User Gamma Application
Software enables the camera to support CvpFileEditor
and RGB4:4:4 outputs.
For details, refer to the HZC-UG444 Operation Manual.
Multimatrix color correction
In addition the standard 6-axis matrix function, the camera
has a multimatrix function that permits you to adjust the
hue and chroma for color components in 16-axis directions
independently. This is quite useful in color matching
among multiple cameras.
Knee saturation
Change of hue and decrease in chroma that occur in
highlighted areas can be compensated.This enables
reproduction of natural skin tones under strong lighting.
Low key saturation
Hue and saturation in low-key zones can be compensated.
Thus, compensation for color reproduction in all zones is
enabled in combination with matrix color compensation
and knee saturation functions.
