Gamma Curve and Main Color Settings
Gamma Curve and Main Color Settings
The basic color management with this camcorder is determined by the main settings of the custom picture file:
gamma curve, color space and color matrix. You can select one of the preset color settings offered by the
camcorder or set each setting individually. For details about the custom picture file and settings, refer to Custom
Picture Settings (A 121).
Preset Color Settings
The camcorder offers the following preset color settings (combinations of gamma curve, color space and color
matrix). Alternatively, you can turn the presets off and set each of the main settings individually. You can even
adjust the detailed custom picture settings as necessary (A 125).
* In the > [/ ! Custom Picture] menu.
NOTES
NOTES
• About the logarithmic gamma curve (Canon Log 3)
This gamma curve assumes the need for post-production processing. It was designed to make the most of
the imaging sensor characteristics in order to obtain impressive levels of dynamic range.
- In mode, you can apply a LUT to the LCD screen and viewfinder and to video output from the SDI
terminal or HDMI OUT terminal to use gamma curve settings more suitable for viewing on a monitor screen.
- There are also other LUTs available that can be applied for processing in post-production. For the latest
information on available LUTs, please visit your local Canon website.
