To use the VF detail signal

Set VF DETAIL to ON to activate the VF detail function to add the detail signal to sharp edges in the image. You can adjust the signal level (strength) in the range of 0 to 100% (default 25%).

You can adjust the characteristics of the detail signal with the menu items below:

CRISP: Adjust to eliminate fine portions of the detail signal.

FREQUENCY: Change the detection band of sharp edges.

FAT MODE: Turn the function ON/OFF to thicken the detail signal.

FLICKER: Turn the function ON/OFF to flicker the detail signal, which makes it easier to check the signal on a CRT screen.

AREA: To limit the area where to display the detail signal.

ZOOM LINK: Set the VF detail level at the full WIDE position. (The VF detail level changes according to the zoom position.)

To use the color detail

Set COLOR DETAIL to ON to convert the VF detail signal to a specified color. This makes it easier to check the signal on an LCD screen, including the viewfinder screen. The display color can be selected at the column next to ON.

You can adjust the coloring with the menu items below: PEAK COLOR: Turn the function ON/OFF to change the

color where the detail signal is strongest.

CHROMA LEVEL: To reduce the chroma components of the video signal (only for video signals on the viewfinder).
