3.4 Shooting parameters
In LIVE VIEW mode you can use the buttons on the left side to set various shooting parameters.
Image 6: Shortcuts and the selection wheel
Press the SHORTCUT BUTTONS on the left side of the camera and the respective options will appear on the display. Turn the SELECTION WHEEL to toggle through the options. Press the selection wheel to confirm your choice.
1) SHUTTER: You can either set the shutter speed or the shutter angle in this menu. The default setting is 1/50s and 180 degree for 25fps. Which parameter you can change depends on your settings in LIVE VIEW > EXPOSURE.
2) FPS: Set the desired frame rate. Depending on the recording resolution different frame rates will be available.
3) ISO: Change the ISO setting – considering your current LOOK and color temperature settings.
4) TEMP: Set the color temperature from 2000K to 7000K in 50K steps. You may also customize your white balance.
5) LOOK: Choose a look up table. In our default setting the user can choose between: KineLOG, Kine709 and KineCOLOR.
a) KineLOG equals a LOG C algorithm. When choosing KineLOG you'll see the widest
movement range on the display. However, the video output of the KineRAW S35 is 8bit. Thus, it is impossible to display a 12 bit movement range.
b) KineCOLOR maintains more highlight and shadow details compared to KINE 709. It can be
used directly as a starting point for your color matching during post production.
c) Kine709 corresponds with REC 709 and, thus, coincides with ITU broadcasting standards.
The color range of REC709 fits the output range of any HDTV.
PLEASE NOTE: When recording in CineformRAW. LOG C will always be employed, regardless of your
LOOK settings.

3.5 F1: recording resolution
a) Maximum resolution is 2K (2048 x 1152) b) There are two options for 1280x720: “1280x720” and “1280x720C”.
a. When shooting in “1280x720” only 2/3 of the sensor are used. The image quality is identical
with recordings in 2K but you'll only record 2/3 of the image area. The maximum frame rate in this mode is 50 fps.
b. When shooting in “1280x720C” you'll record the full frame but the image quality suffers
minimal (moiré might occur). Maximum frame rate in this mode is 100 fps.
3.6 U3: zebra
Pressing the U3 BUTTON will indicate overexposed areas or areas close to overexposure. ZEBRA lines will appear on the display. By default the zebra threshold is set to 90% - zebra appears in all areas with brightness equal or higher than 90%. The threshold is customizable in the “LIVE VIEW” menu. Also the color of the ZEBRA indicator can be varied here.
PLEASE NOTE:
The zebra display always refers to RAW information – regardless of your LUT settings. When Zebra appears
with the default settings of 90% the exposure is close to clipping. No information will be recorded in clipped
areas.

3.8 EI / ISO settings
In LIVE VIEW the current EI/ISO settings are displayed on the top-right above the main menu.
In nature light appears in all different wavelength and intensities. No camera chip can catch all available light information. In the EI/ISO settings you can set the sensor's light sensitivity according to your shooting environment. There are two different modes.
• EI Mode With the EI Mode you will solely utilize the camera's dynamic range without affecting the sensor
sensitivity. The ISO remains constant at the recommended level of 800 whereas the dynamic range is shifted towards a lower or a higher exposure. That way the camera's light sensitivity can be increased while keeping the noise level as low as possible. If you are familiar with other cinema cameras you will recognize this feature and appreciate it in any controlled light situation.
• ISO Mode: The ISO mode is probably the most common way of in-camera exposure control. The higher the ISO
setting, the higher is the sensor's light sensitivity. In ambient light situations increasing the ISO will be inevitable.
Default settings:
a) ISO: 800 b) Highlight: 4.3 stops (level between 18% grey and ADC Clip) c) Headroom: 2 stops (level between 90% with and ADC Clip)
PLEASE NOTE:
As with every camera the noise level will raise and highlight details will vanish with higher ISO
settings.
• Headroom and highlights in ISO mode In the “CONFIGURATIONS>SHOOTING” menu you can manually set the headroom and highlights
when shooting in ISO mode.
a) Set the Highlights from 3.3 stops to 6.3 stops b) Set Headroom from 1 stop to 4.3 stops c) Your choice of highlight and headroom affects your possible ISO choice. When your
highlights are set to 4.3 the lowest available ISO setting is 320 ISO. The lowest available ISO setting is indicated with an exclamation mark next to the number in the menu.
d) When increasing the headroom / highlight value with a constant ISO setting, the sensor's
sensitivity will decrease.
e) Set the highlights at >2 to maintain highlight details

7.3 Cineform RAW
• Compatibility
Cineform RAW is an open-source codec, which is well supported by all common editing and color mixing softwares.
Find more information about compatibility on:
1) http://cineform.com/
• Decoding
Cineform RAW is a RAW intermediate codec and has to be decoded before editing. Downloading the Cineform RAW decoder is necessary.
2) http://cineform.com/gopro-cineform-decoder
The Cineform decoder works in the background and will be automatically utilized by your video playback, editing or color mixing software to decode, debayer, load or unload LUTs or to playback 4:4:4 RGB video. Manual decoding is unnecessary. This process is very resource-economic and will be supported by most modern consumer workstations and laptops. To improve results you can change the debayer/demosic algorithm in the decoder settings.
• LUTs
After editing you can use digital intermediate software to load LUTs specifically designed for KineRAW-S35 Cineform RAW footages such as the “Kine709” LUT. How to choose the right LUT; please check the LUT/LOOK section of this manual.
PLEASE NOTE
The Cineform decoder is a freeware. In the windows version you'll find extended functions, such as
de-bayering. However, this function is subject to a charge in the mac version.
