25.4 Color Correction
This parameter may be used to produce in-camera “looks” via color correction matrices.
• Normal (default) – This selection may be used throughout the majority of gamma and
white balance combinations. Note that the Normal selection favors skin tones as
opposed to overall color accuracy. Also note that this “look” may vary considerably
depending upon the corresponding gamma selection used.
NOTE: This selection is not available for EI 1000.
• Flat – This selection disables the in-camera color correction matrix. Images produced
with this setting may require additional color correction in post-production.
• Skin Tones – This selection may be used to produce less saturated skin tone values
when compared to the Normal color correction selection. When compared to the
Normal color correction selection, an overall desaturation of colors occurs.
NOTE: This selection is not available for EI 1000.
• Video – This selection may be used to produce color values more typically associated
with traditional video cameras.
NOTE: This selection is not available for EI 800 and EI 1000.
STATUS Menu
STATUS is not a configuration menu. It provides status information, warnings and alarms.
A unique quality of this menu is that it may be entered at any time, even during
recording or playback.
Pressing the STATUS Menu Button enters the menu. The first STATUS page shows the
status of the recording being made or of the playback being performed. The second
page shows the timecode settings for recording as set in CONFIG parameter 8.0. The
third Status page shows Interval Recording status.
Warnings and Alerts
CION has been designed to display warnings and alarms. Some alarms will automatically
be shown on the display. Others will only be seen by checking the STATUS display when
pressing STATUS and then rotating the User Interface Control Knob.
You will initially be alerted to an alarm condition when all backlit keys flash to full
intensity for 2 seconds.
Once there is an active alarm or warning, the STATUS Button light will blink for as long as
the alarm is present. This indicates that the reasons for the alarm condition are still
active—you can then press the STATUS Button to determine what the alarm condition is.
If there is more than one alarm, you may scroll through them by rotating the User
Interface Control Knob.
CION features a variety of alarms to help you diagnose the condition of the unit, possible
configuration issues, or possible signal issues.
Here is a list of warning messages and their meaning:
