1) To execute “Area Detection”
1. Select “Area Detection.”
A square marker that indicates the detection
area appears in the center of the screen, and
“Execute” and “Cancel” are displayed below.
2. Select “Execute.”
Color-phase detection in the marker area is
performed.
When detection successfully ends, a
completion message is displayed. Then the
screen is restored, on which the target area
for the Color Correction or Skin Tone Detail
adjustment is changed to the area centering
around the color detected by “Area
Detection,” and the Area Indication (zebra
pattern) appears.
If detection fails, an error message appears,
then the precious screen is restored.
2) The Area Indication setting is common to all picture
profiles PP1 to PP6.
3) Available gamma curves
STD1: This deemphasizes the contrast in dark areas
more than STD2 and emphasizes the contrast in
intermediate areas.
STD2: This deemphasizes the contrast in dark areas
more than STD3.
STD3: Standard (factory setting)
STD4: This emphasizes the contrast in dark areas more
than STD3.
CINE1: This smoothes the contrast in darker areas and
accentuates gradation changes in brighter areas,
for a calm and quiet effect.
CINE2: This gives almost the same results as CINE1.
Select this when you wish 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 areas more
than CINE3. Contrast in dark areas is weaker
and contrast in bright areas is stronger than STD
curves.
