Canon Log Gamma and CINEMA Preset
You can easily set the camcorder to use a number of preset picture-
related settings especially designed with professional cinematography
and motion picture production in mind. With the CINEMA preset settings,
the gamma and color matrix (A 117) will be set to the advanced Canon
Log setting, which makes full use of the newly developed image sensor to
offer spectacular dynamic range. On the other hand, other custom picture
settings will not be available.
Clips recorded using Canon Log gamma need to be processed in post-production. During post-production, you
can apply a LUT (look-up table) to clips recorded using Canon Log gamma to view the clips with more natural
colors. For details about available LUTs, visit your local Canon Web site.

• All picture-related settings will be set according to the CINEMA preset values.
• [/ LOCKED] appears on the left of the screen.
Checking Clips Recorded with Canon Log Gamma (View Assistance)
When Canon Log gamma is used, the image displayed on the screen will appear darker than usual. You can use
the view assistance function to display an image that approximates the one that would be obtained using normal
gamma settings. View assistance is only applied on the camcorder screen; it will not affect your recordings or the
video signal output from the various terminals.
