Item Description
OFFSET WHITE
<A>
Selects whether the offset
adjusted on this page is added to
the white balance for channel A.
WARM-COOL <A> When OFFSET WHITE <A> is
ON, sets the offset for the white
balance of channel A, using the
color temperature. Adjust the
value while looking at the real
image because error tends to be
bigger for adjustment of high color
temperature.
COLOR FINE <A> Adjusts the value more precisely if
the adjustment by WARM-COOL
<A> is not satisfactory.
OFFSET WHITE
<B>
Selects whether the offset
adjusted on this page is added to
the white balance for channel B.
WARM-COOL <B> When OFFSET WHITE <B> is
ON, sets the offset for the white
balance of channel B, using the
color temperature. Adjust the
value while looking at the real
image because error tends to be
bigger for adjustment of high color
temperature.
COLOR FINE <B> Adjusts the value more precisely if
the adjustment by WARM-COOL
<B> is not satisfactory.
Note
Item Description
STD Standard setting (factory default
setting)
CINE1 This smoothes the contrasts in
darker sections and accentuates
gradation changes in brighter
sections, for a calm and quiet
effect.
CINE2 This gives almost the same
results as CINE1. Select this
when you want to obtain 100%
video signals for editing or other
purposes.
CINE3 This emphasizes the contrast
between light and dark more than
CINE1 and CINE2, and also
accentuates gradation changes
on the black side.
CINE4 This emphasizes the contrast in
dark section even more than
CINE3. Contrasts in darker
sections are weaker than STD,
and contrasts in brighter sections
are stronger.
