5.9.4 Lens related functions
Detail follows Gain
By nature, high video gain levels introduce more noise which have a negative effect on Detail
processing. When switched on, the Detail follows Gain function decreases Detail for higher
gain values.
Detail follows Zoom
Typically, close up shots contain larger and fewer image elements than wide angle shots.
Detail enhancement generally produces better results with larger structures so when this
function is switched on, the camera lowers the influence of Detail depending on the zoom
factor.
Aperture Correction follows Iris
The internal Aperture Correction circuit compensates for optical aberration caused by smaller
lens apertures. When switched on, the Aperture Correction takes the actual Iris opening into
account to achieve better Aperture Correction.
Press the DETAIL button and press the NEXT button until the items FLW GAIN and FLW ZOOM
are shown. The item APTFLWIRIS can be found by pressing the SETUP button.
In the camera menu, go to the CREATIVE CONTROL > SHARPNESS > DETAIL > ADVANCED
menu to find the lens related detail functions.
5.9.5 Detail Equalizer
The detail equalizer allows to set the detail levels for shadows, midtones and highlights
individually. In general, shadow areas need less detail enhancement as it increases noise
levels.
Press the DETAIL button, the NEXT button and select the DETAIL EQ menu. Switch on the
DETAIL EQ item. Now use the SHADOW, MIDTONE or HIGHLIGHT items to adjust the detail
level for each tonal range between 0 and 99.
In the camera menu, navigate to the CREATIVE CONTROL > SHARPNESS > DETAIL EQUALIZER
menu and switch on the DETAIL EQUALIZER item. Use the SHADOWS, MIDTONES or
HIGHLIGHTS items to adjust the detail level for each tonal range between 0 and 99.
Values below 50 decrease detail while values above 50 increase detail.
