Adjustments can be made repeatedly and in combination. Adjustments remain in effect until manually
reset. When set to any value other than zero, an indicator and value will be displayed on the monitors
as a warning.

COLOR-SATURATION COMPENSATION

The color saturation of a scene can be adjusted within eleven levels (±5) with
the digital effects controller. Colors can be accented, positive value, or subdued,
negative value.
Shooting tips
Unlike the display on a computer monitor, changes to contrast and color saturation can be diffi-
cult to judge on the monitor. To ensure the optimum level of contrast or color saturation, make a
Digital Effect bracket (p. 62) of the scene.
Turn the Digital Effect switch (1) to the image character-
istic to be adjusted.
