D-RANGE

With EXTEND, the dynamic range and sensitivity are

improved. The S/N ratio is improved with NORMAL.

COLOR SPACE

Select color reproducibility:

S-GAMUT: This mode enables you to record with wider

color space than with the conventional cameras (HDC-

F950, HDW-F900R, etc.) whose color space is

equivalent to that available with film cameras.

With postproduction processes, color expression can be

substantially extended.

For details on reproducible gamuts, see “Color Space

Note

Images shot with the S-GAMUT setting will be seen in

somewhat pale colors if they are reproduced on a

conventional narrow color-space display, such as a

CRT display.

F900: This mode enables you to shoot with color space

equivalent to that available with conventional cameras.

This facilitates color matching with conventional

cameras. Furthermore, as wider color-space data

available with this camera can be used without

restriction, distinguishability of images with higher

color saturation will be improved over that with

conventional cameras.

F900R: This mode enables you to shoot with color space

as close as possible to that of the HDW-F900R, by

limiting the color space to that of the HDW-F900R.

When using this camera in combination with the HDW-

F900R, use this mode for easy color matching.

Note

This mode can be selected only when “COLOR

F900R” is set to “ENABLE” on the <OTHERS 2> page

of the MAINTENANCE menu.

DCDM REF PJ: This mode enables color reproducibility

that is recommended by the Digital Cinema Initiatives

(DCI). The camera can output signals for display

devices that can reproduce this color space, such as a

DLP projector.

The gradation at the low-luminance side can be reproduced

up to approx. –6.5 stop at 0 dB.

Note

As the dynamic range indication shows a value for the

Why the ISO sensitivity is defined for 20% input

At shipment, the gain is set to 0 dB, color temperature is

set to 5600K-OFF, and the white balance memory is set to

W:P.

Defining the level of gray scale of 18% reflection rate for

the ISO sensitivity on the linear curve (defining with input

signal) permits you to use the values as the absolute

reference for proper gamma conversion in postproduction.

In addition, defining the output for 20% input with ITU-

R709 so that it becomes the reference code for Cineon

curve allows high compatibility.

For details on white balance adjustment, see “3-4 White

Balance Adjustment (in Custom mode)” (page 43).

Indications of the ISO sensitivity and

dynamic range

The ISO sensitivity value displayed on the Gain setting

page is defined as “the value with which the video input

becomes 20% when shooting a gray-scale chart of 18%

reflection rate.”

Note that the video output value with respect to this input

will vary depending on the selected gamma.

3-3 Black Balance

Adjustment

• During black balance adjustment, the mechanical shutter

is closed to shut out light.

• During black balance adjustment, the gain switching

circuit will work automatically, and the viewfinder

screen will flicker several times. This is not a

malfunction.

In order to maintain high picture quality when using the

camera, it is necessary to set the black balance

appropriately. After turning on the camera, apply power to

the camera for several minutes, then be sure to perform the

black balance adjustment before starting any picture

adjustment.

When automatic black balance adjustment fails

If the automatic black balance adjustment process does not

end successfully, the error message “ABB: NG” will be

displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three

seconds.

If this error message is displayed, try black balance

adjustment again.

If the error message continues to be displayed after several

attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.

White flecks (Phenomena Specific to CCD Image

Sensors, page 127)

This camera has a function to automatically compensate

for white flecks during automatic black balance (ABB)

adjustments.

The white-fleck automatic compensation function of this

camera performs compensation for only one of three

channels R, G, or B during a single execution of ABB

adjustment. Therefore, repeating ABB adjustment three

times achieves compensation for all three channels R, G,

and B.

The three channels are processed in a circumstantially

determined order. The order and the compensation data

will be maintained even if the camera is turned off.

If the problem is not alleviated through the automatic

compensation, consult a Sony service personnel.

Sony Log (S-LOG in subsequent texts) is a gamma which

assumes use in the DI workflow (capturing filmed negative

images and creating a digital master through digital

processing for screening) in cinema production.

S-LOG enables you to monitor the latitude close to

negative film and perform the timing (color correction)

with a Sony digital cinema camera, achieving “Digital

Negative” that is the optimum negative film work flow for

digital processing.

With this “Digital Negative” you can have the conventional

shooting style, using ISO sensitivity, luminometer and the

wide latitude of negative film, enabling smooth transition

from film production to digital cinema production.

Noise Suppression

This function you can enable on the PAINT menu <NOISE

SUPPRESS> page effectively suppresses noise components

while maintaining fine edge components of a subject.

As the noise suppression function of this camera employs a

system to extract and depress noise within a frame, it also

shows strong characteristics for movement of a subject

compared with noise reduction that uses frame correlation.

You can select from among 4 effect levels; LOW (30%), MID

(60%), HIGH (90%), MAX (100%).

LOW: To mainly cut noise components in the high range

MID: To mainly cut noise components in the high and middle

ranges

HIGH: To mainly cut noise components in the high, middle,

and low ranges

MAX: To mainly cut noise components in the high, middle,

and low ranges

The % values are references of the effect when assuming the

maximum is 100%.

Note

This function somewhat affects frequency components of

actual images, and the contours of low-luminance blocks may

be weakended. A preliminary test shooting is recommended

to check in advance.

User Setting Data

Chapter

the <LENS FILE> page of the FILE menu or using the

MSU-900/950.

You can back up the lens files in a “Memory Stick.”

5-1 File Configuration

When using an ARRI LDS or Cooke /i system lens

This system permits various settings and adjustment data

to be stored as data files in built-in memory or a “Memory

Stick” in order to facilitate later operations or adjustments.

A stored data file can be retrieved, as required, to

reproduce the stored setting statuses.

When you mount the lens, the camera identifies it. If a lens

file has been created once for the lens, the lens file is

automatically recalled. If a new lens file is to be created as

the lens is mounted for the first time, select one of the lens

file numbers 1 to 32 and register the lens file with the lens

mounted.

Note

In Cine mode, some file operations will be limited.

In Cine mode, only retrieval of lens files is possible.

Modification of file data or file creation is not possible.

The following seven kinds of files are designed for the

system:

Items stored

The items that are stored in lens files are marked with “a”

in the “L” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items Stored

in Files”.

Operator file

This file stores operational settings not related to picture

quality. At shipment, the operator file with the default

settings has been stored in built-in memory.

After the default settings are changed, those changed

setting data can be stored as the operator file in a “Memory

Stick” for later use.

For file operation, use the <OPERATOR FILE> page of

the USER (OPERATION) menu or that of the FILE menu.

Scene files

Scene files store data adjusted on the PAINT menu for

specific scenes.

For example, if you store data prepared in rehearsal for a

particular scene in a scene file, the data can be retrieved to

reproduce the same camera settings for the actual take.

For file operation, use the <SCENE FILE> page of the

PAINT or FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950

Master Setup Unit for the file operation.

Items stored

The setting items in the OPERATION menu (page 68) and

the customized USER menu (page 96) can be stored.

Scene files are stored in built-in memory. You can also

back up the scene files in a “Memory Stick.”

Lens files

Names of different lenses and standard values for these

lenses can be registered in lens files in built-in memory of

the camera.

Note

In Cine mode, scene file operation is disabled.

When you remount the lens after using another lens, the

appropriate compensation for the lens can be achieved

easily by reading the file corresponding to the lens.

To use 32 scene files

Set 32 SCENE FILE to ON on the <OTHERS 2> page of

the MAINTENANCE menu.

Creation and modification of lens files are made in Custom

mode.

Adjust necessary items, using the PAINT and

MAINTENANCE menus or using the MSU-900/950

Master Setup Unit, then store the adjustment data, using

Note

If you return 32 SCENE FILE” to OFF, all scene files No.

6 to 32 are initialized when you next set it to ON. (Scene

files No. 1 to 5 are maintained.)

File Configuration

Items stored

images on monitors and viewfinder other than that of

recorded images.

In addition to these built-in data, user-defined look-up

table data can be loaded to the camera via a “Memory

Stick.”

The items that are stored in scene files are marked with

“a” in the “S” column of the table in “5-2 List of Items

Stored in Files”.

For file operation, use the <USER GAMMA> page of the

FILE menu.

Reference file

This file stores the standard settings of the camera that can

be used as a reference when adjusting the camera.

If STANDARD is executed on the <SCENE FILE> page of

the PAINT menu or the <REFERENCE> page of the FILE

menu, or with the MSU-900/950 Master Setup Unit,

manually adjusted values of the camera will be reset to the

reference values that have been stored in the reference file.

At shipment, the reference file with the initial settings is

stored in built-in memory.

The initial settings can be modified, as required, then

stored as the new reference file.

For file operation, use the <REFERENCE> page of the

FILE menu. You can also use the MSU-900/950 Master

Setup Unit for file operation.

A user MLUT file that can be loaded to this camera is a text

file having the following configuration:

A line beginning with # is regarded as a comment.

If the line begins with the two continuous characters #$, it

is not regarded as a comment but has a function to specify

the subsequent gamma and monitor LUT names.

<Block for specifying the corresponding main-

line gamma name and user MLUT name>

Specify the name of the main-line gamma to correspond to

the MLUT file. The MLUT file can be selected only when

the main-line gamma specified here is selected.

Then specify a MLUT name to be displayed on the setting

menu page of the camera.

You can back up the reference file in a “Memory Stick.”

Notes

• In Cine mode, the reference file data are fixed as those at

shipment and cannot be modified.

Format: #$”GAMMA NAME””MLUT NAME”

• As relative adjustment values with regard to the

reference file data are stored in a scene file, if data of the

reference file are modified, the scene files also need

Items stored

The items that are stored in the reference file are marked

with “a” in the “R” column of the table in “5-2 List of

Items Stored in Files”.

User-Gamma file

The gamma-curve data (User Gamma) created using

CvpFileEditor application software can be loaded to the

camera via a “Memory Stick.” This enables reproduction

of images closer to those that individual users wish to

reproduce.

For file operation, use the <USER GAMMA> page of the

FILE menu.

The User-Gamma file is stored in built-in memory. Backup

of the User-Gamma file in a “Memory Stick” is not

possible.

Example 1

#$"User Gamma A""User MLUT1"

When a gamma table named User Gamma A has been

loaded as the user gamma, only User MLUT1 can be

selected as the user MLUT with User Gamma A selected.

Example 2

#$"S-Log A""User MLUT1"

Note

When the S-Log A gamma of the SPECIAL or the USER

category has been selected, you can select User MLUT1 as

the user MLUT.

In Cine mode, operation of the User-Gamma file via a

“Memory Stick” is not possible.

User-MLUT file

The camera is equipped with four types of monitor LUTs

(look-up tables) to apply the types of gamma to displayed
