with HUE/SAT/LUM.
To sample a region of a shot to place curve control points:

HUE - SAT, HUE - LUM, LUM - SAT).
2. Press the CURSOR button located above the fourth trackball.
3. Use the fourth trackball to move the onscreen cursor to the pixel you want to sample.
4. Press the first of the three buttons underneath the fourth trackball to sample the color

Three control points appear on the currently selected curve. The outer two control
points define region of the curve you’re adjusting. The center control point lets you
make the actual adjustment and selected by default.
5. To hide the cursor when you’re finished sampling, press the CURSOR button again.
Methods of selecting and adjusting individual control points using the master trackball of the
center panel:
To select a control point to adjust:
Spin the fourth ring control to the right or left to select the next
control point in that direction. It takes about half of a turn to
select another control point.
To move a selected control point:
Adjust the fourth trackball to move the control point up, down,
left, or right. Selected control points are constrained between
whichever control points are to the left and right.
