	[B.PRESS]	Makes the contrast sharper than [LOW].
	[CINELIKE D]	Uses a gamma curve designed to create cinema-like images.
	[CINELIKE V]	Uses a gamma curve designed to create cinema-like images
		with emphasized contrast.
	ffWhen you select [CINE‑LIKE] gamma, we recommend setting the lens aperture

	[NORM2]	Suitable for brighter colors than the [NORM1] mode.
	[FLUO]	Suitable for shooting under fluorescent lights indoors.

	ffWhen images shot with the [THIN] or [MID] setting in progressive mode are
	played back on a usual TV monitor (60i: interlaced), you will sense flicker on
	horizontal lines and nearly-horizontal diagonal lines. When playing back in
	progressive environment, or performing post-processing such as edit, set this
	item to [THIN] or [MID] to obtain images with higher resolution than the images
	of [THICK] setting.
NAME EDIT	Edits the name of the scene file selected on the [CAM02:SCENE FILE] screen of
	SmartUI.
