L1. What are Gamma Curves
In custom mode you can change the gamma curve of
the camera to alter the contrast and dynamic range of the
captured image
(MENU: PAINT - GAMMA)
.
By using different gamma curves you can dramatically alter
the look of the recorded image. There is no requirement to
use any specific gamma curve. You should use the gamma
curve that provides what you regard as the best looking
image. It is worth experimenting with different gamma curve
settings to achieve different looks.
A gamma curve with a large dynamic range will capture
a larger scene brightness range but result in a flatter on
screen image. A gamma curve with a smaller dynamic range
will result in a higher contrast image but is only capable of
capturing a narrower scene brightness range before the
recorded image becomes over exposed.
The PXW-FX9 Gammas are split in to 4 categories: Original/
STD/HG/S-Log3
