Low Key Saturation Correction
With traditional video cameras, low light areas can be
subject to a reduction in saturation. This can result in the
colors in those areas appearing “washed-out”. The low key
saturation function on the F35 and F23 eliminates this
problem by optimizing the amplification of color saturation
at low light levels by boosting it to an optimized level, thus
providing more natural color reproduction.
Triple Skin Tone Detail Control
The F35 and F23 come equipped with a triple skin tone
detail control function, which allows for independent detail
control over three specified colors. This enhances the
capability of skin tone detail correction – enabling one color
selection to be used for reducing the detail level of skin color,
and two other selections to be used for either increasing or
decreasing the detail level of two other objects. This can be
a powerful imaging tool not available in film shooting.

Multi-matrix Control
The multi-matrix function of the F35 and F23 allow color
adjustments to be applied over a color range specified by
the operator. The color spectrum is divided into 16 areas of
adjustment (approximately 20 degrees), where the hue and/
or saturation of each area can be flexibly modified. This
unique function presents interesting ‘in-camera’ effects – simi-
lar to the secondary color correction normally reserved for
post-production special-effects work – and is performed at
the full bit depth.
Knee Saturation Correction
Shooting very bright portions of an object (such as key light
conditions from a person’s forehead) can reduce color
saturation and change the hue in highlight areas. The
F35 and F23 adopt a knee saturation function, in which
this “washed-out” effect on saturation and hue change is
reduced to a minimum, and offers far more natural color
reproduction in highlight areas.
