Pedestal [–10 to +10]

This item is used to adjust the black level (adjust the pedestal) so that the dark parts of the images are easier to see.

These parts become darker when a negative setting is selected and, conversely, lighter when a positive setting is selected.

DRS [Off, Low, High]

Set here is the DRS function which provides just the right amount of compensation when images with significant light/dark differences are displayed.

When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced even more.

This may make noise more perceptible with some scenes.

Gamma Type [Off, Normal, Cinema]

Selected here is the type of gamma curve.

The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as the “DRS” item setting. Normally, the “Normal” setting is used. When “Cinema” is selected, images giving off an atmosphere like movies can be shot.

Gamma Level [Low, Mid, High]

This item is used to adjust the gamma compensation level. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as the “DRS” item setting or when “Normal” is selected as the “Gamma Type” setting.

When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle gradient in the low-brightness areas, and the contrast is sharper.

Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in the low-brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.

Back Light COMP. [Off, On]

“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation function.

Under backlight conditions, the function prevents darkening as a result of light striking the backs of subjects, and makes it possible to shoot images in shade or shadow more brightly.

The function takes effect when “Auto” has been selected as the Contrast Mode, Gain or Frame Mix item setting.
