5.3 Gamma
5.3.1 Gamma correction
To compensate for the non-linear response of display devices, a gamma correction is applied to
the video signal. The gamma correction adjusts the tonal response of the standard transfer
curve.
5.3.2 Gamma curve
The gamma curve defines the distribution of tonal values. The following standard gamma
curves are available: ITU709 (default), BBC04, BBC05 and BBC06, ARD, Gamma-J and
Gamma-S.
Press the GAMMA button and select GAMMA CRV to select the gamma curve you want to use.
In the camera menu, navigate to the PRODUCTION SETUP > LEVELS > GAMMA > CURVE item
and select the gamma curve you want to use.
5.3.3 Gamma presets
The gamma preset selection determines how mid-range tonal values are reproduced. Available
gamma presets are:
• Nom (nominal) setting: Master Gamma = 76 (slope = 0.45)
• Lin (linear) setting: Master Gamma = 0 (slope = 1.00)
• Var (variable) setting: Master Gamma is adjustable between 0 (slope = 1.00) and 99 (slope
= 0.35).
Press the GAMMA button and use the GAMMA SEL item to select the Gamma preset.
In the camera menu, navigate to the PRODUCTION SETUP > LEVELS > GAMMA > PRESET
function and select the Gamma preset from the list.

It’s also possible to change Gamma for each channel (R,G,B). Changing the slopes of the
individual color gamma changes the representation of white in the mid-range tonal values.
