Basic operations

Step 4

After steps 1 to 3 have been carried out, noise will still remain

in the detail areas such as the subject’s hair as shown in the

image below.

Noise remaining in the detail areas is also removed in

“step 4”.

If there are many areas with noise, the noise is removed by

carrying out this step several times.

Use [F2] to select “Composite” (composite image that

combines the background image and key) using the

View item.

Use [F3] to select “Sponge” using the Mode item.

The noise remaining in the detailed areas is

removed.

Using the positioner, move the position of the sample

marker to the position of the remaining noise.

To change the size of the sample marker, turn the rotary

encoder [Z].

If the sample area that has been set is acceptable,

press the rotary encoder [Z].

The noise in the area that has been set is now removed,

and the colors become more natural.

To return to the pre-sampling status after sampling has

been executed, press [F5].

Execute sampling in both the light and dark areas as the

sample area.

If the noise in the foreground image is not completely

removed by carrying out the steps above, proceed with

the FineTuning sub menu operation.

Step 5

The objective of this step is to finely adjust the image by

adjusting the noise and transparency, for example.

On the Chroma Key menu, use [F1] to display the

Sample sub menu.

Use [F2] to select the image to be adjusted using the

View item.

Using the positioner, move the position of the sample

marker to the position to be sampled.

To change the size of the sample marker, turn the rotary

encoder [Z].

If the sample area that has been set is acceptable,

press the rotary encoder [Z].

The area that has been set is now sampled.

To return to the condition of a step earlier after an

adjustment has been made, press [F5].
