Using the Color Correction With the color correction function you can set the camcorder to detect the characteristics of a certain E color or pattern (color phase, chroma, area and Y level) and correct them automatically when recording. You can set the color correction for up to two different colors (A and B). When determining the color to be corrected, the areas that will be corrected appear on the screen as a zebra pattern alternating with the normal picture. On a connected monitor or computer, those areas will appear instead as white areas alternating with the normal picture.

With the color correction function you can set the camcorder to detect the characteristics of a certain
color or pattern (color phase, chroma, area and Y level) and correct them automatically when recording.
You can set the color correction for up to two different colors (A and B).
When determining the color to be corrected, the areas that will be corrected appear on the screen as a
zebra pattern alternating with the normal picture. On a connected monitor or computer, those areas will
appear instead as white areas alternating with the normal picture.

as an approximate reference: 0=purple, 3=red, 6=orange, 9=green, 12=blue.
[CHROMA]:
Adjust the color saturation for the color to be detected. The more you adjust to [+], the
area detected will extend to include more vivid and richer colors.
[AREA]:
Adjust the color range for the color to be detected. Adjusting to [+] detects a wider color
range, and to [-] a narrower color range.
[Y LEVEL]:
