Description of settings

mode

 

 

 

 

 

DRS

(Camera)

Selects the DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher) function.

 

 

This function compresses the video signal level to extend the dynamic

 

 

range making it possible to correctly render highlight areas without

 

 

overexposure and loss of detail that would otherwise occur.

 

 

OFF, 1, 2, 3

 

 

Larger values indicate a higher compression level of highlight areas.

 

 

Only effective in 60i and 60P VIDEO CAM.

 

 

In slow shutter mode, the options are shown in blue and you cannot

 

 

 

make selection.

HD NORM:

 

 

This gamma setting is suitable for HD shooting.

LOW: Makes a mellow image using the gamma curve which has a

 

 

gentle incline in low-brightness curve. The contrast sharpens.

 

 

SD NORM:

 

 

This is the normal video setting, carried over from the DVX100 series.

 

 

HIGH:

aperture lower than normal image level (approximately 1/2) to enjoy the

 

 

full benefit of the function.
