DIGITAL EFFECTS CONTROL

The Digital Effects Controller is a powerful tool. As well as being able to make adjustments to expo- sure, the controller can also change image contrast, color, and saturation. The effect of any change is instantly visible on the monitors before the image is captured. Since compensation is applied to the image before it is compressed and saved, image information can be maximized before leaving the scene. The digital effects controller can be used with movie recording. Operating the controller is very simple:

Turn the digital-effect switch to the image characteristic to be adjusted.
