Chroma Level [–3 to +3]

Set here is the color intensity (chroma level) of the images.

AWB

This is used to execute automatic white balance (AWB) to set the white balance.

For details, refer to page 22.

AWB Mode [ATW, AWB A, AWB B]

The white balance mode is selected here.

Select the mode when the coloring is not natural because of the nature of the light source or other factors.

If the white color serving as the reference can be recognized, subjects can be shot with natural coloring.

ATW	In this mode, the white balance is
	compensated for automatically, even if
	changes occur in the light source or color
	temperature, by a process of continuous and
	automatic adjustment.
AWB A,	When AWB A or AWB B is selected and the
AWB B	white balance is executed, the adjustment
	results obtained are stored in the memory
	selected.
	When AWB A or AWB B is then selected, the
	white balance stored in the selected memory
	can be recalled.

Note

ppWhen preset settings have been called from the AW‑RP655, the AWB mode which was set when the preset data was registered by the AW‑RP655 will be called.

Detail [Off, Low, High]

The image detail (image sharpness) is adjusted here. When “Low” or “High” is selected, the detail is enhanced.

Flesh Tone Mode [Off, Low, High]

Set here is the flesh tone mode for displaying the subjects’ skin so that it appears more smoothly and eye‑pleasingly.

When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced even more.

Color Matrix [Normal, EBU, NTSC]

This item is used to load the preset color matrix data and compensate for the saturation and color phase.

DNR [Off, Low, High]

Set here is the level of the digital noise reduction effect so that light, noise-free and clear images will be output even at night and in other low-brightness environments.

When “Low” or “High” is selected, even more noise can be eliminated.

However, there is an increased possibility that afterimages may occur.

Pedestal [–10 to +10]

This item is used to adjust the black level (adjust the pedestal) so that the dark parts of the images are easier to see.

These parts become darker when a negative setting is selected and, conversely, lighter when a positive setting is selected.

DRS [Off, Low, High]

Set here is the DRS function which provides just the right amount of compensation when images with significant light/dark differences are displayed.

When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced even more.

This may make noise more perceptible with some scenes.

Gamma Type [Off, Normal, Cinema]

Selected here is the type of gamma curve.

The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as the “DRS” item setting. Normally, the “Normal” setting is used. When “Cinema” is selected, images giving off an atmosphere like movies can be shot.

Gamma Level [Low, Mid, High]

This item is used to adjust the gamma compensation level. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as the “DRS” item setting or when “Normal” is selected as the “Gamma Type” setting.

When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle gradient in the low-brightness areas, and the contrast is sharper.

Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in the low-brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.

Back Light COMP. [Off, On]

“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation function.

Under backlight conditions, the function prevents darkening as a result of light striking the backs of subjects, and makes it possible to shoot images in shade or shadow more brightly.

This item can be set when “Auto” has been selected as the “Contrast Mode” setting.

The function takes effect when “Auto” has been selected as the Contrast Mode, Gain or Frame Mix item setting.

This is used to close this panel.
