after changing the custom picture settings.
[White Balance]
[R Gain], [B Gain] –50 to 50 (±0)
These settings adjust the amount of white balance throughout the whole
image by changing the intensity of red tones ([R gain]) and blue tones ([B
Gain]).
[Color Correction]
[Select Area] [Area A&B], [Area B], [Area A], [Off]
The camcorder detects areas with certain color characteristics (color
phase, chroma, area and Y level) and corrects them when recording. You
can set the color correction for up to two different areas
(A and B) and apply the color correction to either one ([Area A] or [Area
B]) or both of them ([Area A&B]). While color correction is activated, parts
of the image that are not detected as having the characteristics specified
for area A or B will appear colorless on the screen or the image output
from the output terminals (except when adjusting the [Revision Level]/
[Revision Phase] settings).
[Area A Setting Phase],
[Area B Setting Phase]
0 to 31 (0)
These settings determine the color phase of the area to be corrected (A
or B, respectively).
[Area A Setting Chroma],
[Area A Setting Area],
[Area A Setting Y Level],
[Area B Setting Chroma],
[Area B Setting Area],
[Area B Setting Y Level]
0 to 31 (16)
These settings determine the following color characteristics of the area
to be corrected (A or B, respectively).
[Area A Setting Chroma], [Area B Setting Chroma]: Color saturation.
[Area A Setting Area], [Area B Setting Area]: Color range.
[Area A Setting Y Level], [Area B Setting Y Level]: Brightness.
[Area A Revision Level],
[Area B Revision Level]
–50 to 50 (±0)
These settings adjust the amount of correction applied to the color
saturation in the corrected area (A or B, respectively).
[Area A Revision Phase],
[Area B Revision Phase]
–18 to 18 (±0)
These settings adjust the amount of correction applied to the color phase
in the corrected area (A or B, respectively).
