Film tone gamma function
The unit incorporates a total of three gamma curves—
two cine curves (for films/for videos) and the
conventional video gamma curve—and it enables the
curve that best suits the application at hand to be
selected.
Switching from the film mode to video mode or vice
versa can be accomplished using the CAM MENU
SEL item on the OPTION screen of FILM (CAM)
MAIN MENU 4.
Two gamma curves (for films/for videos) are available
in the film mode. They can be set by selecting the
CINE GAMMA SEL item on the GAMMA screen of
FILM MAIN MENU 1.
Video mode (VIDEO MENU)
This the optimum mode for playing back the images
recorded on tape using a video component. The
images are processed using the conventional video
gamma characteristics.
Film mode (FILM MENU)
Two types of film-like images can be achieved in this
mode.
FILM REC (for films: film gamma)
This is the optimum mode for printing the images
recorded on tape onto film and presenting them.
The images are processed using the film-use cine
gamma characteristics developed by Panasonic.
VIDEO REC (for videos: film tone gamma)
Even when playing back images recorded on tape
using a video component, this mode provides a
wide dynamic range, enabling images to be played
back in a mode where the images are more like film
images than the conventional video images.
The images are processed using the video-use cine
gamma characteristics developed by Panasonic.

This unit allows the frame frequency to be switched to
