Adaptive Highlight Control (Auto Knee mode)

The Sony ADSP system intelligently monitors the brightness
of all areas of the picture and automatically adapts the knee
point/slope for optimum reproduction within given areas of
the scene area. A typical example is the ability to shoot an
interior scene which includes a sunlit exterior seen through a
window.

Knee Saturation Function

The Sony TruEye processor is one of the most innovative
features of Sony’s ADSP development, makes it possible to
reproduce very natural colors in a high contrast scene
content. Without TruEye, when only knee correction is
applied to the RGB channels, a color distortion in highlight
areas will occur. A typical example is human skin tones
which tend to take on a yellow tone in highlights. Knee
Saturation processing automatically retains accurate color in
highlight areas and maintains color saturation in picture
areas compensated by the TruEye processor.
Highlight Handling

Sony Advanced TruEye™ processing allows much improved

highlight handling, with faithful color reproduction.
