SCENE FILE screen (continued) Menu Item Setting Notes DETAIL CORING Adjusts the level of noise reduction of the detail signal. - 7 ...0 *1... +7 • Adjust towards - for a clearer image. Noise increases slightly. • Adjust towards + for less noise. CHROMA LEVEL Adjusts the chroma level. - 7 ...0 *1... +7 CHROMA PHASE Makes fine adjustments to the chroma phase. - 7 ...0 *1... +7 COLOR TEMP Ach Makes fine adjustments to the color temperature (after Ach white balance adjustment). - 7 ...0 *1... +7 COLOR TEMP Bch Makes fine adjustments to the color temperature (after Bch white balance adjustment). - 7 ...0 *1... +7 MASTER PED Adjusts the black master pedestal that serves as the video • Values change quickly when reference. the Operation lever is held in - 100 ...+15 *1... +100 the ▲ ▼ direction. A. IRIS LEVEL Sets the AUTO IRIS target value. - 10 ...0 *1... +10 DRS Sets whether to operate the DRS (dynamic range stretcher) function. ON, OFF*1 • When using 1080i, the DRS function is not available if shooting with 24P, 30P, 25P, or VFR (variable frame rate) even if you select ON. DRS EFFECT Sets the compression level in high-brightness areas of the DRS (dynamic range stretcher) function. This function compresses the video signal level to extend the dynamic range making it possible to correctly render highlight areas without overexposure and loss of detail that would otherwise occur. 1, 2, 3 *1 • Higher numbers mean a higher compression level of high-brightness areas and more noise in dark areas. GAMMA Selects the gamma curve. HD NORM: *1 Gamma setting for HD recording. • A change in settings during DRS operation will not change video quality. LOW: Applies a gently rising gamma curve to low brightness areas for a balanced look. SD NORM: Normal video setting inherited from the DVX100 series. HIGH: Applies a steep gamma curve to low brightness areas to expand the tonality of dark areas for video with greater brightness. Contrast softens as a result. B.PRESS: Produces sharper contrast than LOW. CINELIKE D: Applies a gamma curve to produce video with a cine-like feel. CINELIKE V: Applies a gamma curve to produce high-contrast video with a cine-like feel. • A lens aperture set lower than normal video level (approx. 1/2) is recommended when using cine-like gamma to enjoy the full benefit of the function. *1: The factory default when the SCENE FILE dial is set to F1. ___indicates the factory setting. 133
