Canon Log Gamma and CINEMA Preset

The Canon Log gamma setting makes full use of the newly developed image sensor to offer spectacular

dynamic range.

You can easily set the camcorder to use a number of preset picture-

related settings especially designed with professional cinematography

and motion picture production in mind. With the CINEMA preset settings,

the gamma and color matrix (A 117) will be set to the advanced Canon

Log setting, which makes full use of the newly developed image sensor to

offer spectacular dynamic range. On the other hand, other custom picture

settings will not be available.

Clips recorded using Canon Log gamma need to be processed in post-production. During post-production, you

can apply a LUT (lookup table) to clips recorded using Canon Log gamma to view the clips with more natural

colors. For details about available LUTs, visit your local Canon Web site.

* You can also apply a LUT to the MON. terminal or HD/SD SDI terminal output.

Checking Clips Recorded with Canon Log Gamma (View Assistance)

When Canon Log gamma is used, the image displayed on the screen will appear darker than usual. When you are

shooting with Canon Log gamma and are checking the picture on an external monitor connected to a MON. terminal

or the HD/SD SDI you can apply a LUT to the output (A 146). In addition, you can use the view assistance function

to display an image that approximates the one that would be obtained using normal gamma settings. View assistance

is only applied on the camera screen; it will not affect your recordings or the video signal output from the various

terminals.

[£ LCD/VF Setup] > [View Assist.]

2 Select [On] and then press SET.
