Using Iso800 Mode; Using User Gamma - Sony SRW-9000PL Operation Manual

S-Log allows you to monitor the full latitude of
Sony digital cinema cameras, which is
comparable to that of film cameras, and to
perform color correction (grading). The camera
image can be treated as a "digital negative" in
workflows optimized for digital processing of
negative film.
By working with this "digital negative", you can
make a smooth transition from film production to
digital cinema production. You can use the same
ISO sensitivity ratings, light meters, and shooting
style as always, and enjoy a latitude comparable
to that of negative film.
For more information about S-Log, refer to the "S-
Log Whitepaper". Contact a Sony service
representative for information about how to obtain
this whitepaper.

Using ISO800 mode

ISO800 mode is a shooting mode that provides
appropriate contrast and a dynamic range up to
800% while shooting with sensitivity comparable
to ISO800.
To put the unit into ISO800 mode, select HG7-
ISO800 or HG8-ISO800 on TABLE >SPECIAL
on the <GAMMA> page.
HG7-ISO800 is based on HG7:HG8009G40, and
HG8-ISO800 is based on HG8:HG8009G33.
While preserving the characteristics of HG7 and
HG8, they support sensitivity comparable to
ISO800, delivering both high sensitivity and a
wide dynamic range.
Because noise components become more
prominent when the sensitivity is raised as high as
ISO800, the Noise Suppression function (see
page 150) is turned on automatically whenever
the unit enters ISO800 mode. This decreases the
amount of noise (noise suppression effect level:
60%).
You can change the noise suppression effect level
of the Noise Suppression function on the <NOISE
SUPPRESS> page of the PAINT menu. When a
gamma curve other than HG7-ISO800 or HG8-
ISO800 is selected, the setting of the Noise
Suppression function returns to the setting in
force immediately before the unit switched to
ISO800 mode.

Using User Gamma

You can also use the CvpFileEditor
create your own gamma tables on your personal
computer, and load those table into the unit via a
"Memory Stick".
Note that gamma control (LEVEL, ON/OFF)
may be disabled when a user gamma table is
selected, because the gamma may have been
forcibly fixed when the table was created.
When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set
up to use a user gamma table initialized to
HG8009G33.

To use a gamma table you have created,
load it into the unit.
Load the gamma table data via a "Memory
Stick" using the <USER GAMMA> page of
the FILE menu in Custom mode.

Select the user gamma.
Select USER on the first line of TABLE on
the <GAMMA> page of the Camera >USER
(PAINT) menu and display the desired user
gamma table.
When the black level of a user gamma table has
been set to "0" using CvpFileEditor V4.0, the
master black (BLACK [M]) setting is fixed to "0"
(factory setting), and "– –" is displayed.

The unit supports CvpFileEditor Version 3.0 or
later.
