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

MATRIX
(Camera)
For setting the level (knee point) at which

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

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.
