About the user gamma function

You can create the desired gamma table using a personal computer on which special software has been installed and load this table into your camcorder via a Memory Stick.

When a user gamma table is selected, gamma (LEVEL, COARSE or ON/ OFF) and knee (POINT, SLOPE, ON/OFF or AUTO KNEE) or both may become disabled. This is because the gamma and knee are compulsorily fixed when creating the gamma curve.
