4.8.10 Effects
The VIDEO menu gives you access to three items that can be used to obtain several
special effects; the gradient filter, the colour corrector and the soft focus filter.
☞
Note
These effects are not retained when the power to the camera is switched off.
Gradient filter
There are five different types of gradient filter that can be selected:
• ND 0.3
• ND 0.6
• ND 0.9
• Sunset
• Blue sky
For each of these filters a range of values can be selected to determine position, size
and colour.
Colour corrector
The VIDEO/COLOUR CORRECTOR menu allows the saturation, hue and Y gain to be
separately adjusted for selected colour vectors. The view mode item allows you to
select the manner in which the area affected is displayed.
Soft focus filter
There are five preset positions that can be set up to contain five different types of soft
focus filtering. For each of these preset positions a range of values can be selected to
determine the centre position, shape, size and transparency of the effect.
4.9 Managing files
You can have access to 15 different files. This number can be extended by using
additional scene file camera cards. The Files menu is used to recall and store these files.
There are two types of file:
• scene files
• operator files
A scene file contains values related to the picture performance. The operator file
contains values related to the set-up of the camera (viewfinder, lens and installation
parameters). The tables in the Appendix indicate the functions that are stored in the
scene file and those functions that are stored in an operator file.
