BLACK*1

Changes the gain in dark areas. Change this depending on the video signal being shot.

 

 

 

NORMAL

: Normal status

 

 

 

STRETCH

: Enhances the dark areas of the video so the contrast between light and dark is more visible by

 

 

 

 

stretching the signal only in the dark areas.

 

 

 

 

Set elongation level with STRETCH LEVEL below.

 

 

 

COMPRESS

: If the video that was shot is bright overall and lacking in contrast, the gain in the dark areas is com-

 

 

 

 

pressed, which adds contrast.

 

 

 

 

Set compression level with COMPRESS LEVEL below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

STRETCH LEVEL

The amount of stretching increases from LEVEL1οLEVEL2οLEVEL3οLEVEL4οLEVEL5.

 

 

 

[Settings: LEVEL1, LEVEL2, LEVEL3, LEVEL4, LEVEL5]

 

 

COMPRESS LEVEL

The amount of compression increases from LEVEL1οLEVEL2οLEVEL3οLEVEL4οLEVEL5.

 

 

 

[Settings: LEVEL1, LEVEL2, LEVEL3, LEVEL4, LEVEL5]

 

WHITE CLIP

Sets the white clipping point on input video signals with a high luminance level.

 

 

 

108%

: The white clipping point is set at a luminance level of 108%.

 

 

 

100%

: The white clipping point is set at a luminance level of 100%. If the screen is too white at

 

 

 

 

108%, set it to 100%.

 

KNEE*1

Sets whether to run the “knee” function, which compresses video signals over a certain level to render the tonality

 

 

 

in the highlight areas, automatically or manually. Set “MANUAL” when you want to check the bright areas, and adjust

 

 

 

the knee point manually.

 

 

 

AUTO

: Adjusts the knee point automatically, according to the luminance level.

 

 

 

MANUAL

: You can change the luminance level in the “LEVEL” item.

 

 

LEVEL*1

Sets the start point for knee compression (knee point).

 

 

 

Increase the number : Raises the knee point level.

 

 

 

Decrease the number : Lowers the knee point level.

 

 

 

[Settings: 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 100%]

 

 

 

MEMO

 

 

 

 

When the “KNEE” item is set to “AUTO”, “-----” is displayed and this cannot be selected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

REVERSE PICTURE

When the lens image is inverted and flipped, set “ROTATE” to record properly.

 

 

 

OFF

: No inversion.

 

 

 

ROTATE

: Invert lens image.

 

DNR

Selects whether or not to set the noise reduction.

 

 

 

The DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) function is applied to the tape recording signal, HD component output signal, and

 

 

 

the IEEE1394 output signal in CAMERA mode.

 

 

 

When camcorder’s picture is noisy, because of low light conditions, you can improve picture’s S/N by turning DNR

 

 

 

on.

 

 

 

 

OFF

: Noise reduction is not performed.

 

 

 

ON

: Sets noise reduction.

 

 

 

MEMO

 

 

 

 

• DNR is not applied in VTR mode or during playback.

 

 

 

• DNR is not applied to composite output signals in CAMERA mode.

 

 

 

• When the DNR is set to ON, the camcorder’s S/N ratio becomes better but the “blurring of moving objects” will

 

 

 

increase.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ADVANCED PROCESS..

Calls up the ADVANCED PROCESS menu screen.
