Standard settings
To ensure that some of the camera functions are not
set to unusual values, a standard file has been defined
that contains the default values for most video
functions. The table in the Appendix lists the values
that are set when the standard file is recalled.
Press the green STD button on the left side panel of the
camera and hold it for 2 seconds to recall the standard
values for the various video functions. The standard
values only take effect when the camera is not on-air.
Note :
The standard file can be selected as either a factory or
a customer standard file. Changing the standard file
can only be done in the System security menu if the
owner card or the PIN code is used.
Smart-Touch™
Smart-Touch™ is an optional software module that
gives immediate access to 14 pre-defined scene files.
This library allows you to quickly set up the camera for
different shooting conditions. To choose a particular
file proceed as follows:
a. Press the green STD button for 2 seconds; the
viewfinder shows the library of available shooting
conditions.
b. Select a file by rotating the selection wheel at the
front of the camera.
c. Activate the file of your choice by pressing the
Select button at the front of the camera.
The new values only take effect when the camera is
not on-air. The Smart-Touch™ files can also be
selected by navigating to the Files menu using the
System Menu.
The files of the Smart-Touch™ library are divided into
three categories, Lighting, Creative, and Matching,
which complement the standard setting scene file.
The Lighting category provides three different files for
various lighting conditions:
• Night optimises the transfer characteristic to
enhance the visibility of detail in very dark scenes
without the undesirable consequence of excessive
noise associated with simply increasing gain.
• Fluorescent establishes matrix and colourmetric
parameters to reduce the green tinge and give a
more acceptable picture when the scene is lit with
uncorrected fluorescent lighting.
• Extreme contrast uses the full dynamic range of
the FT CCD sensor to obtain better handling of
highlights and more detail in the shadows.
The Creative category provides seven files for different
effects:
• Sports warm colour delivers warm and rich
contrasts bringing out team colours.
• Sports interview incorporates the dual skin tone
control into the sports setting for interviews.
• HI film gives a high contrast film-like look which is
ideal for outdoor location production.
• HI film + skin is the HI film setting with dual skin
tone control incorporated for natural, flattering close-
ups.
• LO film gives a low contrast film-like look for studio
production.
• LO film + skin is the LO film setting with dual skin
tone control incorporated for natural, flattering close-
ups.
• Sepia creates a sepia tone look for atmosphere-
rich production.
The Matching category provides three files for camera
matching:
• LDK 9x + LDK 10 for matching to Philips LDK 9,
LDK 10, LDK 90 and LDK 91 cameras.
• DVW xxx for matching to Sony camcorders.
• HL xxx for matching to Ikegami camcorders.
Each of these settings can be personalised and stored
on a smart card.
