Recording

1)To execute “Area Detection”

1.Select “Area Detection.”

A square marker that indicates the detection area appears in the center of the screen, and “Execute” and “Cancel” are displayed below.

2.Select “Execute.”

Color-phase detection in the marker area is performed.

When detection successfully ends, a completion message is displayed. Then the screen is restored, on which the target area for the Color Correction or Skin Tone Detail adjustment is changed to the area centering around the color detected by “Area Detection,” and the Area Indication (zebra pattern) appears.

If detection fails, an error message appears, then the precious screen is restored.

2)The Area Indication setting is common to all picture profiles PP1 to PP6.

3)Available gamma curves

STD1: This deemphasizes the contrast in dark areas more than STD2 and emphasizes the contrast in intermediate areas.

STD2: This deemphasizes the contrast in dark areas more than STD3.

STD3: Standard (factory setting)

STD4: This emphasizes the contrast in dark areas more than STD3.

CINE1: This smoothes the contrast in darker areas and accentuates gradation changes in brighter areas, for a calm and quiet effect.

CINE2: This gives almost the same results as CINE1. Select this when you wish to obtain 100% video signals for editing or other purposes.

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 areas more than CINE3. Contrast in dark areas is weaker and contrast in bright areas is stronger than STD curves.
