Note

Since the parameters are shared for movie and still images, adjust the value when you

change the shooting mode.

If you print RAW images with shooting settings, the following settings are not reflected.

Black Level

Black Gamma

Knee

Color Depth

If you change [Gamma], the available ISO value range changes.

There may be more noise in dark parts depending on the gamma settings. It may improve

by setting the lens compensation to [Off].

When using S-Log2 gamma, the noise becomes more noticeable compared to when

using other gammas. If the noise still is significant even after processing pictures, it may

be improved by shooting with a brighter setting. However, the dynamic range becomes

narrower accordingly when you shoot with a brighter setting. We recommend checking the

picture in advance by test shooting when using S-log2.

Setting [ITU709(800%)] or [S-Log2] may cause an error in the white balance custom

setup. In that case, set the exposure bright first and then perform custom setup.

Setting [ITU709(800%)] or [S-Log2] disables the [Black Level] setting.

If you set [Slope] to +5 in [Manual Set], [Knee] is set to [Off].

S-Gamut is a color space unique to Sony that provides a wide color space equivalent to

film cameras. However, S-Gamut setting of this camera does not support the whole color

space of S-Gamut; it is a setting to realize a color reproduction equivalent to S-Gamut.
