5.12 Smart-Touch™ option
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:
1. Press the green STD button for 2 seconds; the viewfinder shows the library of available
shooting conditions.
2. Select a file by turning the Rotary control at the front of the camera.
3. 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:
• LDK9x + LDK10 for matching to Philips LDK9, LDK10, LDK90 and LDK91 cameras.
• DVW xxx for matching to Sony cameras.
• HL xxx for matching to Ikegami cameras.
Each of these settings can be personalised and stored on a smart card.
