Canon professional
camcorders are also
equipped with flash
accessory shoes for
use with Canon EX -
series Speedlites.
These camcorders provide an extraordinary
range of user customisation options, making
them unmatched in versatility and flexibility.
23 image adjustments, 22 display options
(with 40 sub-items) and 21 custom function
settings (with 33 sub-items) can be used to
fine-tune the cameras’ performance and
operating characteristics for different envi-
ronments, different users or different jobs.
Organisations that use many cameras can
take advantage of this feature to easily
match up multiple units. Sets of adjustments
can be recorded and transferred to ensure
superior camera-to-camera uniformity.
Image Enhancements
Videographers can achieve virtually any
look desired, thanks to an extensive range
of independent adjustments.
Gamma:
The NORMAL gamma curve is ideal
for viewing footage on TV monitors. The
camcorders also offer CINE 1 to create
images with the quality and appearance
of film for TV viewing. For images that are
intended to be transferred to film, the CINE
2 setting provides an appropriate gamma
curve.
Knee:
4 settings (AUTO, HIGH, MIDDLE,
LOW) that fine-tune dynamic range (knee
point) adjustments in highlight areas
control overexposure when shooting
high-brightness subjects. HIGH enables
high-key shooting, while LOW protects
the image from overexposure.
Black:
Adjustments to dynamic range in
the dark areas of the image are covered
with 3 settings (STRETCH, MIDDLE, PRESS).
STRETCH expands the range, providing
greater shadow detail. PRESS narrows the
range, increasing the deep black content
of the image.
Master Pedestal:
Adjustments in steps
from –9 to +9 set the video reference black.
Higher values brighten the darker areas of
the image to reduce overall contrast.
Setup Level:
Black level can be adjusted
from –9 to +9.
Sharpness:
Control the sharpness of the
image in steps from –9 to +9.
Horizontal Detail:
High, Middle and Low
settings adjust the horizontal detail centre
frequency.
Horizontal/Vertical Detail Balance:
Settings from –9 to +9 adjust the horizontal/
vertical proportion of the detail correction.
Coring:
Subtle noise components can be
adjusted in steps from –9 to +9.
Noise Reduction 1/Noise Reduction 2:
With Off, High, Middle and Low options for
each, these settings deliver a variety of noise
reduction methods and levels to assure the
best image quality across numerous shoot-
ing situations.
Colour Matrix:
Correct colour matrices are
provided for NORMAL (images to be viewed
on a TV monitor), CINE 1 (images with the
quality and appearance of film as viewed
on TV) and CINE 2 (images intended to be
transferred to film).
Colour Gain/Hue:
Colour Gain and Hue are
adjustable from –50 to +50 and –9 to +9
respectively.
Master Red, Blue and Green Gain:
Each
setting is independently adjustable from
–50 to +50 to provide precise control over
colour balance.
6 Colour Matrices:
By altering 2 of the 3
primary colours, colour matrices including
RG, RB, GR, GB, BR and BG (each inde-
pendently adjustable from –50 to +50)
provide extremely fine colour control.
