4.11 Smart-Touch™
Smart-Touch is an optional software module that gives immediate access to 14 pre-
defined scene files. This library allows you to quickly set up the camera for different
shooting conditions. To choose a particular file proceed as follows:
1.
Press the green
STD button
for 2 seconds; the viewfinder shows the
library of available shooting conditions.
2.
Select a file by turning the
Rotary control
at the front of the camera.
3.
Activate the file of your choice by pressing the
Select button
at the front of
the camera.
The new values only take effect when the camera is not on-air. The Smart-Touch
files can also be selected by navigating to the
FILES
menu using the System
Menu. The files of the Smart-Touch library are divided into three categories,
Lighting, Creative, and Matching, which complement the standard scene file.
The Lighting category provides three different files for various lighting conditions:
•
Night
optimises the transfer characteristic to enhance the visibility of detail in
very dark scenes without the undesirable consequence of excessive noise
associated with simply increasing gain.
•
Fluorescent
establishes matrix and colourmetric parameters to reduce the
green tinge and give a more acceptable picture when the scene is lit with
uncorrected fluorescent lighting.
•
Extreme contrast
uses the full dynamic range of the FT CCD sensor to obtain
better handling of highlights and more detail in the shadows.
The Creative category provides seven files for different effects:
•
Sports warm colour
delivers warm/rich contrasts bringing out team colours.
•
Sports interview
incorporates the dual skin tone control into the sports setting
for interviews.
•
HI film
gives a high contrast film-like look which is ideal for outdoor location
production.
•
HI film + skin
is the HI film setting with dual skin tone control incorporated for
natural, flattering close-ups.
•
LO film
gives a low contrast film-like look for studio production.
•
LO film + skin
is the LO film setting with dual skin tone control incorporated for
natural, flattering close-ups.
•
Sepia
creates a sepia tone look for atmosphere-rich production.
The Matching category provides three files for camera matching:
•
LDK 9x + LDK 10
for matching to Philips LDK 9, LDK 10, LDK 90 and LDK 91
cameras.
•
DVW xxx
for matching to Sony cameras.
•
HL xxx
for matching to Ikegami cameras.
Each of these settings can be personalised and stored on a smart card.
