Colour Balance
Consistent scene-by-scene colour balance is widely accept-
ed as one of the key settings during production. There are a
number of ways of setting this when working with an
HDW-750P/730S camcorder. By using Auto White (and
Black) balance, the HDW-750P/730S gives an accurate
overall colour balance. A Menu “Paint” function allows
colour levels to be adjusted on-set according to creative
needs. For this operation, the RM-B750/150 controller can
be connected and paint parameters can be remotely adjusted.
Auto Tracing White Balance
This function allows automatic tracing of white balance in
situations where overall colour temperature of the lighting
fluctuates. This is particularly useful for continuous shooting
that requires a subject to be followed from outside to inside
(i.e. from daylight to tungsten lighting) with no opportunity
to re-set the colour balance of the camera.
Colour Temperature Control
Digital Colour Temperature Control makes it possible to dial
in the required colour temperature of the camera. In addi-
tion, this function can be used creatively. The overall colour
balance of the picture can be changed to make it ‘warmer’
or ‘colder’. Four types of colour filters are also provided as
standard for optical colour temperature adjustment.
Colourimetry
The HDW-750P and HDW-730S produce pictures with
astonishing colur reproduction, and offer controls that offer
further creative colour manipulation.
Multi Matrix
Multi Matrix offers unique possibilities for creative control
by allowing selective colour enhancement or alteration.
It allows a particular colour to be selected and its hue
changed over a range of approximately 22.5 degrees.
The level of saturation can also be modified. This control
allows creative “in camera” effects – similar to the secondary
colour correction normally reserved for post production
special effects work – to be added at full bit depth.
