PP5:
Example setting using [Cine1] gamma
PP6:
Example setting using [Cine2] gamma
PP7:
Example setting using [S-Log2] gamma
PP8:
Example setting using the [S-Log3] gamma and the [S-Gamut3.Cine] under [Color Mode].

Example setting using the [S-Log3] gamma and the [S-Gamut3] under [Color Mode].
Items of the picture profile
Black Level
Sets the black level. (–15 to +15)
Gamma
Selects a gamma curve.
Movie: Standard gamma curve for movies
Still: Standard gamma curve for still images
Cine1: Softens the contrast in dark parts and emphasizes gradation in bright parts to produce a
relaxed color movie. (equivalent to HG4609G33)
Cine2: Similar to [Cine1] but optimized for editing with up to 100% video signal. (equivalent to
HG4600G30)
Cine3: Intensifies the contrast in light and shade more than [Cine1] and strengthens gradation in
black.
Cine4: Strengthens the contrast in dark parts more than [Cine3]. The contrast in dark parts is
lower and the contrast in bright parts is higher than for [Movie].
ITU709: Gamma curve that corresponds to ITU709.
ITU709(800%): Gamma curve for confirming scenes on the assumption of shooting using [S-
Log2] or [S-Log3].
S-Log2: Gamma curve for [S-Log2]. This setting is based on the assumption that the picture will
be processed after shooting.
S-Log3: Gamma curve for [S-Log3] with more similar features to film. This setting is based on
the assumption that the picture will be processed after shooting.
Black Gamma
Corrects gamma in low intensity areas.
Range: Selects the correcting range. (Wide / Middle / Narrow)
Level: Sets the correcting level. (-7 (maximum black compression) to +7 (maximum black
stretch))
