Item

Description

WARM-COOL <B>

When OFFSET WHITE <B> is

 

ON, sets the offset for the white

 

balance of channel B, using the

 

color temperature. Adjust the

 

value while looking at the real

 

image because error tends to be

 

bigger for adjustment of high color

 

temperature.

 

 

COLOR FINE <B>

Adjusts the value more precisely if

 

the adjustment by WARM-COOL

 

<B> is not satisfactory.

 

 

3 Set the WHITE BAL switch to the channel (A or B) that you want to set.

Note

If the WHITE BAL switch is not set to A or B, the adjusted value is not reflected in the video output even though you carry out the following operation.

4 Turn the MENU knob to perform the settings for each item, and press the MENU knob.

If you want to set the other channel, go back to step 2.

Selecting Gamma Tables

You can select gamma curves from among five preset patterns, for times when you want to achieve film-like gradations and color reproduction and other effects.

1 Display the GAMMA SELECT page of the PAINT menu, and then press the MENU knob.

For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu Operations” on page 129.

2 Select the desired item and press the MENU knob.

The following settings are available.

Item

Description

STD

Standard setting (factory default

 

setting)

 

 

CINE1

This smoothes the contrasts in

 

darker sections and accentuates

 

gradation changes in brighter

 

sections, for a calm and quiet

 

effect.

 

 

CINE2

This gives almost the same

 

results as CINE1. Select this

 

when you want to obtain 100%

 

video signals for editing or other

 

purposes.

 

 

Item

Description

CINE3

This emphasizes the contrast

 

between light and dark more than

 

CINE1 and CINE2, and also

 

accentuates gradation changes

 

on the black side.

 

 

CINE4

This emphasizes the contrast in

 

dark section even more than

 

CINE3. Contrasts in darker

 

sections are weaker than STD,

 

and contrasts in brighter sections

 

are stronger.

 

 

Note

When you select CINE1 to CINE4, the knee point is fixed at a preset value and cannot be adjusted, even if you set KNEE on the SW STATUS page of the PAINT menu to ON. DCC is also disabled.

Making Low-Noise Settings

Low-noise mode allows you to obtain clear video with little noise under low light conditions.

1 Select LOW NOISE MODE on the CAM CONFIG page of the MAINTENANCE menu, and then press the MENU knob.

For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu Operations” on page 129.

2 Select the desired item and press the MENU knob.

You can make the following settings.

Item

Description

OFF

Standard setting (factory default setting)

 

 

1

Reduce noise by using the noise reduction

 

circuits, without lowering the sensitivity.

 

Resolution and gradations under low light are

 

slightly lower.

 

 

2

Reduce noise more than the 1 setting by

 

lowering the sensitivity. Compared to the OFF

 

setting, sensitivity is about 20% lower, and the

 

dynamic range is about 20% lower. (Sensitivity

 

declines to about F8, compared to the standard

 

F9.)

 

 

Assigning Functions to ASSIGN Switches
