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.

[EOS Std.]:

This gamma curve approximates the look of an EOS digital SLR camera when the

 

picture style is set to [Standard] (high contrast, vibrant colors).

[Wide DR]:

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

 

HDTV.

[Canon Log]:

Applies a logarithmic gamma curve for outstanding dynamic range. Requires image

 

processing in post-production.
