Knee
Adjusting the knee level
Setting
On
/ Off
Set to “On” to compress the high-luminance area of
the picture.
Note
Knee is fixed and cannot be changed in the
following cases:
When Gamma is set to CINE1 to 4
When the electronic shutter is in Slow Shutter
mode
Auto Knee
On
/ Off
Set to “On” to automatically set the best knee
conditions according to the luminance level of the
picture.
With “Off” the knee conditions can be manually
adjusted independently of the luminance level of
the picture.
Point
50 to 109 (
90
)
Set the knee point when Auto Knee is “Off.”
Slope
–99 to +99 (±
0
)
Set the knee slope (volume of compression) when
Auto Knee is “Off.”
Knee SAT Level
0 to 99 (
50
)
Adjust the knee saturation level for the area over
the knee point.
Gamma
Adjusting the gamma
compensation level and
selecting the gamma curve
Level
–99 to +99 (±
0
