COLOR-SATURATION COMPENSATION

The color saturation of a scene can be adjusted within eleven levels (±5) with the digital effects controller. Colors can be accented, positive value, or subdued, negative value.

Shooting tips

Unlike the display on a computer monitor, changes to contrast and color saturation can be diffi- cult to judge on the monitor. To ensure the optimum level of contrast or color saturation, make a Digital Effect bracket (p. 62) of the scene.
