Knee > Auto Set > Sensitivity High / Mid / Low Knee > Manual Set > Point 75% to 105% Knee > Manual Set > Slope -5 to +5 Mode Auto: Automatically adjusts the knee based on what is selected in the following settings (when [Movie] or [ITU709] is selected in [Gamma]). [Max Point] determines the maximum knee point level (white level). The knee slope is automatically adjusted according to the Max Point setting. The standard is to keep it at 100%. A lower setting will turn white grayish, while a higher setting will discard gradations in high luminance areas. [Sensitivity] changes the luminance level at which the knee's automatic adjustment starts. When set to [Low], the knee's automatic adjustment starts at lower input signal levels than normal. When set to [High], the knee's automatic adjustment starts at higher input signal levels than normal. When a parameter other than [Movie] or [ITU709] is selected in [Gamma], the gamma curve will not exceed the White clip point and over-exposure rarely occurs. When [Mode] is set to [Auto] with these settings, the Knee function is disabled. If you want to enable the Knee function, set [Mode] to [Manual]. Manual: Sticks to settings based on the following selections.

Auto:
Automatically adjusts the knee based on what is selected in the following settings (when
[Movie] or [ITU709] is selected in [Gamma]).
[Max Point] determines the maximum knee point level (white level). The knee slope is
automatically adjusted according to the Max Point setting. The standard is to keep it at
100%. A lower setting will turn white grayish, while a higher setting will discard gradations
in high luminance areas.
[Sensitivity] changes the luminance level at which the knee’s automatic adjustment starts.
When set to [Low], the knee’s automatic adjustment starts at lower input signal levels
than normal. When set to [High], the knee’s automatic adjustment starts at higher input
signal levels than normal.
When a parameter other than [Movie] or [ITU709] is selected in [Gamma], the gamma
curve will not exceed the White clip point and over-exposure rarely occurs. When [Mode]
is set to [Auto] with these settings, the Knee function is disabled. If you want to enable the
Knee function, set [Mode] to [Manual].
