Using the Color Correction

With the color correction function you can set the camcorder to detect the characteristics of a certain
color or pattern (color phase, chroma, area and Y level) and correct them automatically when recording.
You can set the color correction for up to two different colors (A and B).
When determining the color to be corrected, the areas that will be corrected appear on the screen as a
zebra pattern alternating with the normal picture. On a connected monitor or computer, those areas will
appear instead as white areas alternating with the normal picture.

Determining the Color to be Corrected

1. Open the menu and select [CAMERA SETUP]. Select the [COLOR CORR.] submenu

and then select [A AREA SEL.] or [B AREA SEL.].

2. Select each setting option, adjust the levels as necessary and close the menu.

[COLOR PHASE]: Select the basic color phase (0-15) of the color to be detected. Use the following values

as an approximate reference: 0=purple, 3=red, 6=orange, 9=green, 12=blue.

[CHROMA]:

Adjust the color saturation for the color to be detected. The more you adjust to [+], the

area detected will extend to include more vivid and richer colors.

[AREA]:

Adjust the color range for the color to be detected. Adjusting to [+] detects a wider color

range, and to [-] a narrower color range.

[Y LEVEL]:

Adjust the brightness for the color to be detected. Adjusting to [+] detects brighter

colors, and to [-] detects darker colors.

Adjusting the Color Correction

1. Open the menu and select [CAMERA SETUP]. Select the [COLOR CORR.] submenu

and then select [A AREA REV.] or [B AREA REV.].

2. Select the color gain options, adjust the levels as necessary and close the menu.

[R GAIN]: Adjust the red gain of the detected area. Adjusting to [+] results in stronger red tones, and to [-]

in stronger cyan tones.

[B GAIN]: Adjust the blue gain of the detected area. Adjusting to [+] results in stronger blue tones, and to

[-] in stronger yellow tones.
