DRS EFFECT
Sets the compression level for the high-brightness areas of the dynamic range
stretcher function.
It enables the dynamic range to be expanded by compressing the level of the
video signals in the high-brightness areas where overexposure results during
normal shooting.
[1], [2], [3]
f
The higher the value of the setting, the higher the compression level of the high-
brightness areas and the level of noise in dark areas.
f
When 1080i and progressive mode are set, the
dynamic range stretcher function is not activated
even if [DRS EFFECT] is set.
f
Set the [AUTO KNEE SW] item on the [SW
MODE] screen is set to [DRS] and push the
<OUTPUT>/<AUTO KNEE> selector switch
towards the <ON> side to activate the dynamic
range stretcher function.
GAMMA
Selects the gamma curve.
f
While the dynamic range stretcher function is
activated and when the [CAMERA] item is set to
[CINE-LIKE], images are not changed even if the
setting is changed.
[HD NORM]
Suitable for HD shooting.
[LOW]
Makes a mellow image using a gamma curve that has a gentle
incline in low-brightness curve. The contrast sharpens.
[SD NORM]
This is the normal video setting carried over from the DVX100
series.
[HIGH]
Expands the tone of dark parts and makes a brighter image
using a gamma curve that has a sharp incline in low-brightness
curve. The contrast softens.
[B.PRESS]
Makes the contrast sharper than [LOW].
[CINELIKE D]
Uses a gamma curve designed to create cinema-like images.
[CINELIKE V]
Uses a gamma curve designed to create cinema-like images
with emphasized contrast.
f
When you select [CINE-LIKE] gamma, we recommend setting the lens aperture
lower than normal image level (approximately 1/2) for optimal results.
KNEE
To avoid overexposure, select the compression level (knee point) of the high
intensity video signals received through the MOS sensor.
f
While the dynamic range stretcher function is
activated, images do not change when the setting
is changed.
f
To set the knee point automatically according
to the signals received, use the <AUTO KNEE>
switch.
[HIGH]
High setting (Compression starts at approx. 100%)
[MID]
Medium setting (Compression starts at approx. 90%)
[LOW]
Low setting (Compression starts at approx. 80%)
MATRIX
Selects the matrix table suitable for the desired color expression during shooting.
[NORM1]
Suitable for shooting in the open air or under a halogen lamp.
[NORM2]
Suitable for brighter colors than the [NORM1] mode.
[FLUO]
Suitable for shooting under fluorescent lights indoors.
[CINE-LIKE]
Suitable for shooting cinema-like images.
SKIN TONE DTL
Switches skin tone details [ON]/[OFF].
Select [ON] to reduce the skin tone details and soften the skin tone.
[ON], [OFF]
V DETAIL FREQ
Sets the vertical detail.
[THIN]
Makes the detail thin.
[MID]
Makes the detail slightly thick.
[THICK]
Makes the detail thick.
f
When images shot with the [THIN] or [MID] setting in progressive mode are
played back on a usual TV monitor (60i: interlaced), you will sense flicker on
horizontal lines and nearly-horizontal diagonal lines. When playing back in
progressive environment, or performing post-processing such as edit, set this
item to [THIN] or [MID] to obtain images with higher resolution than the images
of [THICK] setting.
NAME EDIT
Edits the name of the scene file selected on the [CAM02:SCENE FILE] screen of
SmartUI.
indicates the factory setting value of scene file number F1.
