Pedestal [–10 to +10]
This item is used to adjust the black level (adjust the
pedestal) so that the dark parts of the images are easier
to see.
These parts become darker when a negative setting is
selected and, conversely, lighter when a positive setting
is selected.
DRS [Off, Low, High]
Set here is the DRS function which provides just the right
amount of compensation when images with significant
light/dark differences are displayed.
When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced
even more.
This may make noise more perceptible with some scenes.
Gamma Type [Off, Normal, Cinema]
Selected here is the type of gamma curve.
The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected
as the “DRS” item setting. Normally, the “Normal” setting
is used. When “Cinema” is selected, images giving off an
atmosphere like movies can be shot.
Gamma Level [Low, Mid, High]
This item is used to adjust the gamma compensation
level. The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is
selected as the “DRS” item setting or when “Normal” is
selected as the “Gamma Type” setting.
When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and
composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle
gradient in the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is
sharper.
Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark
area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter
tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in
the low‑brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.
Back Light COMP. [Off, On]
“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation
function.
Under backlight conditions, the function prevents
darkening as a result of light striking the backs of
subjects, and makes it possible to shoot images in shade
or shadow more brightly.
The function takes effect when “Auto” has been selected
as the Contrast Mode, Gain or Frame Mix item setting.
