CINE-LIKE: The gamma curve which gives the images a cinema-like finish is used. In order to make full use of the CINELIKE gamma characteristics, it is recommended that the lens iris be set lower (by approx. 1/2) than the regular video level. LOW: Using a gamma curve with a moderate gradient for the low-luminance areas, the images are given a calm, composed look. A sharp touch is conveyed by the contrast. NORM: Standard images are produced. HIGH: Using a gamma curve with a sharp gradient for the low-luminance areas, the gradations of the dark areas are extended to make them appear brighter. A soft touch is conveyed by the contrast. SKIN TONE DTL (Camera) For switching the skin tone detail ON or OFF. When ON is selected, the detail in the skin tone areas is diminished and the graininess of the skin is reduced. OFF ON MATRIX (Camera) For selecting the matrix table and expressing the colors during shooting. NORM: Colors suited to shooting outdoors or under light sources using halogen lamps are expressed.

Item/ (display mode) Description of settings V DETAIL FREQ (Camera) For setting the detail in the vertical direction when shooting in the progressive mode. THIN : The detail is made finer.

When playing back a tape in a progressive environment, this flickering is reduced by selecting "THIN" as the item's setting, which will also enable images with a higher resolution than that with the "THICK" setting to be obtained.

Images are recorded on the tape using the advanced conversion system. NAME EDIT (Camera) For editing the name of the scene file selected by the scene file dial.
