Useful functions (Continued) Shooting in high dynamic range (HDR) Reproduction of brightness over a wider range than previously available is supported by applying an HDR-compatible picture profile. The camcorder supports Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), with four selectable gamma settings. The [HLG] setting is equivalent to ITU-R BT.2100. The [HLG1], [HLG2], and [HLG3] settings enable images to be reproduced with a wider dynamic range without images that appear unnatural, as can arise in existing camera image reproduction. Shooting using HDR-compatible picture profile An HDR setting is registered in [PP10] by default for shooting in HDR.

XAVC S format recording
When recording HDR video in XAVC S format
on the camcorder, the color space, gamma, and
other metadata required for HDR playback and
display are stored in the video file.
On devices used for playback and display that
support the metadata, the video is displayed
automatically with the appropriate settings. On
devices that do not support the metadata,
manual configuration is required.

AVCHD format recordings do not support HDR
metadata. For appropriate playback and display
of HDR, manual configuration is required.
