Simplified Graphical Interface

In addition to the very detailed settings explained in the previous section (A 114), the camcorder offers a

graphical interface for adjusting the gamma and white balance settings. Gamma settings are presented as a

gamma curve and white balance settings are presented on a color plane.

Gamma Curve

1 After selecting a file, open the gamma curve adjustment screen.

[,/Edit File] > [Gamma]

• The current gamma curve will be displayed on the screen.

2 Push the joystick left/right to highlight the [M] field and then push the

joystick up/down to select the desired basic gamma curve.

• The numbers correspond to the [Gamma] settings explained

previously (A 114), as follows:

1 to 4: [Normal 1] to [Normal 4] 5 and 6: [Cine 1] and [Cine 2]

7: [EOS Std.] 8: [Wide DR]

9: [Canon Log]

• The gamma curve is displayed in white before adjustment and in

red after adjustment.

3 Push the joystick left/right to highlight the [H] field or [L] field and then push the joystick up/down to select the

basic gamma curve.

• The [L] value can be adjusted from 1 to 9. It is equivalent to the [Black Gamma] setting and controls the

lower part of the gamma curve (dark areas of the image). This setting is not available when the [M] value is

set to 8 or 9.

4 Push the joystick left/right to highlight the [H] field.

• The [H] value can be adjusted from 1 to 5. It is equivalent to the [Knee] setting and controls the upper part of

the gamma curve (highlights of the image). This setting is not available when the [M] value is set to 5 or

higher.

5 Push the joystick left/right to select [Set] and then press the joystick.

• The adjusted gamma curve will be saved. The [Gamma], [Black Gamma] and [Knee] values under the

[ / Fine Tuning] submenu will change accordingly.

6 Press the CUSTOM PICT. button to exit the custom picture menu and apply the selected custom picture

settings.

White Balance

1 After selecting a file, open the white balance shift screen.

[,/Edit File] > [White Balance]

• The current white balance is shown as an orange point at the

center of the WB correction coordinates.

2 Push the joystick left/right to shift the white balance along the blue

(B)/amber (A) gradation. Push the joystick up/down to shift the white

balance along the green (G)/magenta (M) gradation.

• The white balance shift can be set to one of 9 levels in each

color's direction.

• The amount of white balance shift will be displayed as two

coordinates in the [SHIFT] box to the left of the graph.

3 Press the joystick.

• The adjusted white balance shift value will be saved. The [White Balance] value under the [ / Fine

Tuning] submenu will change accordingly.

4 Press the CUSTOM PICT. button to exit the custom picture menu and apply the selected custom picture

settings.
