Gamma: Select Gamma from the Display Color menu to choose a de-gamma curve.

Used correctly, the Gamma control can improve contrast while maintaining good
details for blacks and whites. If excess ambient light washes out the image and it
becomes difficult or impossible to see details in dark areas, lower the gamma setting to
compensate. This improves contrast while maintaining good details for blacks.
Conversely, if the image is washed out and unnatural, with excessive detail in black
areas, increase the setting.

Color Temp: Select Color Temp from the Display Color menu to adjust the color

temperature. Color temperature establishes the “color of gray” by adjusting the 75%
white point to various color points.

What are “color points?” A “color point” is an x/y coordinate pair that defines a
color’s location on the standard CIE chromaticity graph, shown in Figure 4-7. (CIE
stands for “Commission Internationale de l’Éclairage” (International Commission on
Illumination), the organization responsible for color measurement and management
standards.)

Simple: Select Simple mode from the Color Temp menu (with the CX-70DHD, this

is the only choice) to choose one of three color temperature presets: 3200K, 5500K
or 6500K. The default setting, 6500K, is appropriate for most situations. Higher
settings produce a “bluer” picture; lower ones impart a reddish hue to the image.
