Description of settings
For adjusting the detail amount.
–7 --- 0 --- +7
For adjusting the strength of the outline
compensation in the vertical direction of the
images.
–7 --- 0 --- +7
For adjusting the level at which the noise in
the detail signals is to be eliminated.
–7 --- 0 --- +7
When this is adjusted in the “–” direction,
clearer images are produced but the noise
increases slightly.
When it is adjusted in the “+” direction, the
noise decreases.
For adjusting the chroma level.
–7 --- 0 --- +7
For finely adjusting the chroma phase.
–7 --- 0 --- +7
For finely adjusting the color temperature
(for performing fine adjustments after the
white balance has been adjusted).
–7 --- 0 --- +7
For adjusting the black master pedestal
which serves as the video reference.
–15 --- 0 --- +15
For setting the auto iris target value.

GAMMA
(Camera)
Description of settings
For selecting the gamma curve.
LOW:
Using a gamma curve with a moderate
gradient for the low-luminance areas, the
images are given a calm, composed look.
A sharp touch is conveyed by the contrast.
NORM:
Standard images are produced.
HIGH:
Using a gamma curve with a sharp
gradient for the low-luminance areas, the
gradations of the dark areas are
extended to make them appear brighter.
A soft touch is conveyed by the contrast.
B.PRESS:
Images giving the sense of a sharper contrast
than at the LOW setting are produced.
CINE-LIKE:
The gamma curve which gives the
images a cinema-like finish is used.
Images with less noise than at the
CINE_LIKE_D setting are produced.
CINE-LIKE_D:
The dynamic range is higher than at the
CINELIKE setting.
CINE-LIKE_V:
This uses the gamma curve for finishing
the images into movie-like images where
priority is given to contrast.
In order to make full use of the CINELIKE gamma characteristics, it is
recommended that the lens iris be set
lower (by approx. 1/2) than the regular
video level.
The underlining indicates the factory setting.
KNEE
(Camera)
MATRIX
(Camera)
For setting the level (knee point) at which
the high-brightness video signals sensed by
the CCD are to be compressed in order to
minimize color saturation in the highlights of
the image.
AUTO:
The knee point is set automatically in
accordance with the signals sensed.
LOW:
The knee point is set on the low side
(with compression starting from
around 80%).
MID:
The knee point is set at an interim
value (with compression starting from
around 90%).
HIGH:
The knee point is set on the high side
(with compression starting from
around 100%).
For selecting the matrix table and
expressing the colors during shooting.
NORM:
ENRICHED:
FLOU:
CINE-LIKE:
Colors suited to shooting outdoors
or under light sources using
halogen lamps are expressed.
More vivid colors are expressed
than with the NORM setting.
Colors suited to shooting indoors
under fluorescent light sources
are expressed.
Colors suited to cinema-like
shooting are expressed.

SAVE/INIT
(Camera)
Description of settings
For switching the skin tone detail ON or
OFF.
When ON is selected, the detail in the skin
tone areas is diminished and the graininess
of the skin is reduced.
OFF ON
For setting the detail in the vertical direction
when shooting in the progressive mode.
THIN :
The detail is made finer.
MID :
The detail is made somewhat coarser.
THICK :
The detail is made coarser.
O When “THIN” or “MID” has been selected
as the item’s setting and the images shot
in the progressive mode are played back
using a standard TV monitor (60i:
interlace), some flickering will occur on
the horizontal lines and on the diagonal
lines near the horizontal.
When playing back a tape in a
progressive environment, this flickering
is reduced by selecting “THIN” or “MID”
as the item’s setting, which will also
enable images with a higher resolution
than that with the “THICK” setting to be
obtained.
For setting shooting in the progressive
mode.
OFF:
Shooting is not performed in the
progressive mode.
30P:
Shooting is performed in the 30P mode
(30 frames/sec.).
24P:
Shooting is performed in the 24P mode
(24 frames/sec.).
Images are recorded on the tape using
the [2:3] conversion system.
24P(ADV):
Shooting is performed in the 24P
advanced mode (24 frames/sec.).
Images are recorded on the tape using
the advanced conversion system.
For editing the name of the scene file
selected by the scene file dial.
SAVE:
For saving the scene file settings after
changes have been made to them.
O If the menu mode is released without
saving the changes, the original scene
file settings will be restored when
operation is switched to the VCR mode
or the power is turned off.
INITIAL:
For returning the scene file settings
selected by the scene file dial to the factory
settings.

If the OPERATION lever is left tilted in the
3 or 4 direction, the speed at which the
setting changes is increased, and a beep is
heard.
O Progressive mode OFF:

O Progressive mode 24P or 24PA:
1/24.1 --- 1/48.0 --- 1/250.0
For selecting the aspect ratio of the images
to be recorded.
NORM:
The images are recorded in the standard
4:3 mode.
LETTER BOX:
The aspect ratio is set to the 16:9 mode,
and the images are recorded in this
mode. Black bands are recorded at the
top and bottom of the screen.
SQUEEZE:
The camera images are compressed
horizontally so that they will be displayed
optimally on a 16:9 monitor.
<Note>
The images appearing in the viewfinder and
on the LCD monitor may be disrupted for a
moment when SQUEEZE is selected as the
item setting; this is normal and not
indicative of malfunctioning.
For setting the color bar display to ON or
OFF.
OFF ON
O Even when the color bar display has
been set to ON, it will return to OFF
when operation is switched to the VCR
mode or the power is turned off.
For setting whether to add the setup level
(black level).
0%:
The setup level is not added.
7.5%:
The 7.5% setup level is added for
recording.
The underlining indicates the factory setting.
