HDC-2000 Series Creative Versatility Multi-matrix Function The Multi-matrix function of the HDC Series allows color adjustments to be applied over a user-specified color range. The color spectrum is divided into 16 areas of adjustment, where the hue and/or saturation of each area can be modified. Adaptive-matrix Function This enables ideal color conversion for shooting even under excessively strong ambient lighting conditions such as live shooting under bright monochromatic blue light. These conditions would typically cause a conventional matrix function to exceed the color conversion range. Multi-matrix OFF Multi-matrix ON Simulated images Natural Skin-tone Detail Function The Natural Skin-tone Detail function lets you control the tone of human skin by making certain areas smooth while keeping specific areas sharp. This function is particularly effective in maintaining eyebrows when human skin tone is touched up. Natural Skin-tone Detail OFF Natural Skin-tone Detail ON Simulated images Knee Saturation Function Traditionally, shooting very bright portions of an object (such as key light conditions from a person's forehead) can reduce color saturation and change the hue in highlight areas. HDC-2000 Series cameras adopt a Knee Saturation function, in which the "washed-out" effect caused by saturation and hue change is reduced to a minimum. This function provides far more natural color reproduction in highlighted areas. Knee Saturation OFF Knee Saturation ON Simulated images Digital Extender Function The Digital Extender function expands the size of the image by a factor of two in the center of the image sensor's captured image. This function works without a decrease in sensitivity, such as an F-number drop, which typically occurs when using conventional optical extender functions. 8
