Embedding Custom Picture Settings in a Recording

By default, when you record MXF clips using custom picture settings, the custom picture file is saved along with the MXF clip. Later, you can copy the custom picture file embedded in the MXF clip to the camcorder (A 155) and use the same custom picture settings to record additional clips. You may find that embedding custom picture settings in a recording helps you keep track of them, such as verifying what settings were used for a particular recording.

Available Custom Picture Settings

The following are the available settings. Even if no custom picture file is selected, the default settings are still applied to the picture.

[Gamma]

The gamma curve changes the overall look of the image. Generally, this should be the same setting as [Select] under [Color Matrix]. (Default: [Normal 1]).

[Normal 1] to [Normal 4]: These settings are suitable for viewing the image on a TV monitor. Highlights in [Normal 2] are brighter than those of [Normal 1]. Dark tones in the lower part of the gamma curve for [Normal 3] (ITU-R BT.709 standard) and [Normal 4] are more pronounced than those of [Normal 2].

[Cine 1] or [Cine 2]: Use [Cine 1] for a gamma curve that results in a picture with a cinema-like feel and cinema- like tones. [Cine 2] has softer contrasts than does [Cine 1] but is also suitable for creating a cinema-like picture.

[Wide DR]:

Applies a gamma curve with a very wide dynamic range, optimized for playback on an HDTV.
