With EXTEND, the dynamic range and sensitivity are improved. The S/N ratio is improved with NORMAL.

COLOR SPACESelect color reproducibility:

S-GAMUT:This mode enables you to record with wider color space than with the conventional cameras (HDC- F950, HDW-F900R, etc.) whose color space is equivalent to that available with film cameras.

With postproduction processes, color expression can be substantially extended.

For details on reproducible gamuts, see “Color Space According to the COLOR SPACE Settings” (page 117).

Note

Images shot with the S-GAMUT setting will be seen in somewhat pale colors if they are reproduced on a conventional narrow color-space display, such as a CRT display.

F900: This mode enables you to shoot with color space equivalent to that available with conventional cameras. This facilitates color matching with conventional cameras. Furthermore, as wider color-space data available with this camera can be used without restriction, distinguishability of images with higher color saturation will be improved over that with conventional cameras.

F900R: This mode enables you to shoot with color space

as close as possible to that of the HDW-F900R, by limiting the color space to that of the HDW-F900R. When using this camera in combination with the HDW- F900R, use this mode for easy color matching.

Note

This mode can be selected only when “COLOR F900R” is set to “ENABLE” on the <OTHERS 2> page of the MAINTENANCE menu.

DCDM REF PJ: This mode enables color reproducibility that is recommended by the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI). The camera can output signals for display devices that can reproduce this color space, such as a DLP projector.

If a video production is to be displayed on a device that complies with the DCI standards, shooting in this mode will minimize the necessity for postproduction processes, such as color correction.
