IRIS LEVEL Sets the AUTO IRIS target value.–10 ... 0 *1 ... +10DRS EFFECT Sets the compression level in high-brightness areas ofthe DRS (dynamic range stretcher) function.This function compresses the video signal level toextend the dynamic range making it possible tocorrectly render highlight areas without overexposureand loss of detail that would otherwise occur.1, 2, 3 *1• Higher numbers mean a higher compression level ofhigh-brightness areas and more noise in dark areas.• Not available at 1080/25P (30P, 24P)mode.• Not available at1080/60i mode with the1/15 or 1/30 shutter speed.• Not available at 1080/50i mode withthe 1/12.5 or 1/25 shutter speed.GAMMA Selects the gamma curve.HD NORM *1: Gamma setting for HD recording.LOW: Applies a gently rising gamma curve to low-brightness areas for a balanced look.SD NORM: Normal video setting inherited from theDVX100 series.HIGH: Applies a steep gamma curve to low brightnessareas to expand the tonality of dark areas for videowith greater brightness. Contrast softens as a result.B.PRESS: Produces sharper contrast than LOW.CINE-LIKE D: Applies a gamma curve to producevideo with a cine-like feel.CINE-LIKE V: Applies a gamma curve to producehigh-contrast video with a cine-like feel.• A lens aperture set lower than normal video level(approx. 1/2) is recommended when using cine-likegamma to enjoy the full benefit of the function.• A change in settings during DRSoperation will not change video quality.KNEE Sets the compression level (knee point) of the highbrightness video signals received through the MOSsensor to avoid overexposure.HIGH: High setting (compression starts at approx.100%)MID: Medium setting (compression starts at approx.90%)LOW *1: Low setting (compression starts at approx.80%)• A change in settings during DRSoperation will not change video quality.MATRIX Selects the MATRIX table to reproduce color duringshooting.NORM1 *1: Ensures proper color rendition whenshooting out in the open or under halogen lighting.NORM2: Produces more vivid colors than NORM1.FLUO: Ensures proper color rendition when shootingindoors under fluorescent lighting.CINE-LIKE: Produces a tone similar to movie film. .SKIN TONE DTL Turns the skin tone detail on or off.When on, reduces detail to hide any skin blemishes.ON, OFF *1*1 The factory default when the SCENE FILE dial is set to F1.____ indicates the factory setting
