3-1-1 Overview of the Basic
Operation Modes
With this camera, Cine mode and Custom mode can be
switched. Cine mode is designed for shooting the materials
that will undergo post-production editing and that do not
need on-set grading, as with shooting with a film camera.
Custom mode is designed for shooting with all the setting
items of the camera set as you wish.
The items that can be set and the selectable values on the
menus and from the remote control unit are different in
Cine mode and Custom mode.
Cine mode (default mode)
• The subdisplay and the USER menu are mainly used.
• The items related to image creation are fixed at the
factory-set values, and menu displays are simplified.
• Only auto black balance (ABB) can be activated as auto
setup.
The white balance level is fixed at the preset value
(3200K), and auto white balance (AWB) and WHITE R/
G/B settings are not operative.
• On a remote control unit connected to the REMOTE
connector of the camera, the values for the adjustment
items whose settings fixed in Cine mode are not
displayed. However, data for the ON/OFF setting items
and selectable items are displayed although they are
fixed in Cine mode.
• Reading/writing of files from/to a “Memory Stick” and
data presetting are enabled only for the operator file that
is included in the USER menu.
• Only retrieval by specifying a file number is allowed
among the lens file operations.
• The reference file items are fixed to the default values set
at the factory even if you have changed the values in
Custom mode.
Custom mode
• This mode is designed for shooting with detailed settings
on the menus or with operations from the remote control
unit.
• The reference file, which stores the values to be used as
reference for adjustments, and the scene files, which
store the adjustment values specific to a particular scene,
are available in this mode.
• User Gamma can be installed.
• Modification and storage of the lens files are possible.
The settings for the file items adjusted in Custom mode are
maintained when the camera is switched back to Cine
mode. However, the video adjustment values that are
temporarily changed and not stored in any file will be
cleared upon mode switching.
For details on different items and values that can be set in
each mode, see “4-3 Menu List” (page 68).
