Gamma Mode
[Normal, HD, Cinema1, Cinema2, Still Like]
Select the type of gamma curve.
Normal Standard gamma characteristic.
HD HD (High Definition) video gamma characteristic.
Cinema1 High contrast gamma characteristic.
Cinema2 Sedate gamma characteristic.
Still Like Sets the gamma characteristics for a digital still
camera image tone.
<NOTE>
• This is enabled only when [DRS] is [Off].
• When [Scene] is [Full Auto], the settings for this function cannot be
changed and are fixed to [Normal].
Gamma [0.30 to 0.75]
Adjust the gamma correction level.
Specifying smaller values results in a gentler gamma curve for the
slope of low-brightness areas and sharper contrast.
Specifying larger values results in an expanded gradient for dark
areas and produces brighter images. The gamma curve for low-
brightness areas will be steeper, and contrast will be softer.
<NOTE>
• This is enabled when [Gamma Mode] is [Normal] or [HD].
• When [Scene] is [Full Auto], the settings for this function cannot be
changed and are fixed to [0.45].
DRS [Off, Low, Mid, High]
Set the DRS function which performs correction when video with high
light/dark contrast is displayed.
You can select from a [Low], [Mid], or [High] effect level.
<NOTE>
• This is enabled when [Gamma Mode] is [Normal] or [HD].
• When [Scene] is [Full Auto], the settings for this function cannot be
changed and are fixed to [Off].
Knee Mode [Off, Auto, Low, Mid, High]
Set the operating mode for gradation compression (knee).
Off Turn the knee function off.
Auto Enable the knee function, and set the knee point and knee
slope automatically.
Low, Mid,
High
Enable the knee function, and manually set the knee point
and knee slope in three steps.
<NOTE>
• When [DRS] is enabled, the knee setting is disabled.
• When [Scene] is [Full Auto], the settings for this function cannot be
changed and are fixed to [Auto].
White Clip [Off, On]
Turn the white clip function off/on.
White Clip Level [90% to 109%]
Set the white clip level.
This is only enabled when [White Clip] is set to [On].
<NOTE>
• When [Knee Mode] is set to [Auto] and the value of [White Clip
Level] is changed, the knee value will also change.
DNR [Off, Low, High]
Set the digital noise reduction level for outputting bright, clear images
without noise, even at night and low-light conditions.
When [Low] or [High] is selected, noise can be eliminated.
However, image lag may increase.
