Selecting the Basic
Operation Mode
Overview of the Basic Operation
Modes
This unit supports three operation modes: Cine
mode, Cine-EI mode and Custom mode. Cine and
Cine-EI modes allow you to use the unit like a
film camera, on the assumption that the video will
undergo post-production processing to achieve a
specific look. Custom mode allows you to access
all settings on site, so that you can achieve the
look you want as you shoot.
You can control the camera either from the
Camera menu or a remote control unit, but the
items you can set and the values they can take
depend on the operation mode.
Cine mode (default mode)
The most commonly used operations are
available in the subdisplay and the USER menus
of the Camera menu.
• The menu configuration is simple, with most
items relating to the basic "look" of the video
fixed as factory defaults.
• The only active auto setup item is auto black
balance (ABB).
• The white balance level is fixed at the preset
value (3200K), and auto white balance (AWB)
and WHITE R/G/B settings are not operative.
• When you are controlling the unit from a remote
control unit connected to the REMOTE
connector, items with numeric settings that are
fixed in Cine mode do not appear on the remote
control unit. Items with ON/OFF settings and
selectable items do appear, even when their
settings are fixed.
• The only file that can be read from or written to
"Memory Stick" media is the operator file in the
USER menu, and the only file data that can be
reset to factory defaults is the data in that file.

Selecting the Basic Operation Mode
Basic Adjustments and Settings
• The only operation that can be carried out with
lens files is loading a lens file by specifying its
number.
• The reference file items are fixed to the default
values set at the factory even if you have
changed the values in Custom mode.
Cine-EI (Exposure Index) mode
This mode is intended that shooting be achieved
using a light meter at your specified sensitivity
with the camera gain fixed.
The sensitivity can be selected from among ISO
450 (standard), 640, 800, and 1000. As the
camera gain is fixed, the higher you set the
sensitivity, the darker shot images will be.
Afterward in the postproduction process, raise the
gain to the value that corresponds to the
sensitivity specified for shooting. Although the
camera output of the main line may become dark,
proper monitoring is enabled, as appropriate LUT
for the selected sensitivity is automatically
applied to each of the VF and monitor outputs.
The gain display is replaced by the EI display, and
the color space is fixed to S-GAMUT.
• As in Cine mode, the subdisplay and the USER
menu are mainly used.
• The menu configuration is simple, with most
items relating to the basic "look" of the video
fixed as factory defaults.
• The only active auto setup item is auto black
balance (ABB).
• The white balance level is fixed at the preset
value (3200K), and auto white balance (AWB)
and WHITE R/G/B settings are not operative.
• When you are controlling the unit from a remote
control unit connected to the REMOTE
connector, items with numeric settings that are
fixed in Cine mode do not appear on the remote
control unit. Items with ON/OFF settings and
selectable items do appear, even when their
settings are fixed.
• The only file that can be read from or written to
"Memory Stick" media is the operator file in the
USER menu, and the only file data that can be
reset to factory defaults is the data in that file.
