• This mode is designed for shooting with detailed settings

on the menus or with operations from the remote control

unit.

• The reference file, which stores the values to be used as

reference for adjustments, and the scene files, which

store the adjustment values specific to a particular scene,

are available in this mode.

3-1 Selection oftheBasic

Operation Modes

3-1-1 Overview of the Basic

Operation Modes

• User Gamma can be installed.

• Modification and storage of the lens files are possible.

With this camera, Cine mode and Custom mode can be

switched. Cine mode is designed for shooting the materials

that will undergo post-production editing and that do not

need on-set grading, as with shooting with a film camera.

Custom mode is designed for shooting with all the setting

items of the camera set as you wish.

The items that can be set and the selectable values on the

menus and from the remote control unit are different in

Cine mode and Custom mode.

Note

The settings for the file items adjusted in Custom mode are

maintained when the camera is switched back to Cine

mode. However, the video adjustment values that are

temporarily changed and not stored in any file will be

cleared upon mode switching.

For details on different items and values that can be set in

each mode, see “4-3 Menu List” (page 60).

Cine mode (default mode)

• The subdisplay and the USER menu are mainly used.

• The items related to image creation are fixed at the

factory-set values, and menu displays are simplified.

• Only auto black balance (ABB) can be activated as auto

setup.

3-1-2 Switching of the Basic

Operation Modes

At shipment, Cine mode is selected.

The white balance level is fixed at the preset value

(3200K), and auto white balance (AWB) and WHITE R/

G/B settings are not operative.

• On a remote control unit connected to the REMOTE

connector of the camera, the values for the adjustment

items whose settings fixed in Cine mode are not

displayed. However, data for the ON/OFF setting items

and selectable items are displayed although they are

fixed in Cine mode.

To switch to Custom mode

Referring to the procedures described in “2-8 Setting the

Built-in Clock” (page 25), call up the <BASE SETTING>

page of the MAINTENANCE menu on the viewfinder

screen or the monitor screen and switch the modes.

On the same page, making settings for dynamic range and

color space is also possible.

• Reading/writing of files from/to a “Memory Stick” and

data presetting are enabled only for the operator file that

is included in the USER menu.

• Only retrieval by specifying a file number is allowed

among the lens file operations.

• The reference file items are fixed to the default values set

at the factory even if you have changed the values in

Custom mode.

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.

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.

Either dynamic range or latitude can be selected for the

indication.

The value displayed with % as a dynamic range shows the

limit on the high-luminance side in percentage (100%=

input level) in a case where the white of the gray scale

provides 100% (700 mV) output with the ITU-R709

gamma (standard gamma).

0dB(450) 800%

TUNGSTEN

At 1 on the first line, the gain value is selected from

among the following: –6 dB, –3 dB, 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB, 9

dB, and 12 dB. The corresponding ISO sensitivity is

displayed in parentheses. For 2 on the first line, you can

select either dynamic range or latitude for the indication

(see “Indications of the ISO sensitivity and dynamic

range” mentioned later).

On the second line, the color temperature is selected from

TUNGSTEN or DAYLIGHT.

With DAYLIGHT, electrical gain of 5600K is ON.

The value displayed with E as a latitude shows the latitude

on the high-luminance side by an f-stop value, using a

gray-scale chart of 18% reflection rate as the key light.

The latitude at the low-luminance side can be reproduced

up to approx. –6.5 stop at 0 dB.

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

temperature is set to TUNGSTEN.

The white balance adjustment value is fixed at the preset

value (3200K).

Note

As the dynamic range indication shows a value for the

input video, the dynamic range of the output video is

limited by the output settings as follows:

Basic Settings with the Subdisplay

• If a gamma other than S-LOG is selected

The upper limit is clipped according to the output video

limitation specified by the gamma setting.

Note

All the lens files are named “No Offset,” with all zero

settings at shipment. File registration and modification of

data in a lens file must be performed in Custom mode.

When you select a curve as Hyper Gamma No. 4, which

compresses 460% input to 109%, the output video is fed

within the range up to 460% of input video even if 800%

is displayed on the subdisplay as the dynamic range as the

output video is limited to 109%.

For details on the lens files, see “Chapter 5 Storage and

Retrieval of User Setting Data”.

Using CvpFileEditor V4.0, you can change the dynamic

range of Hyper Gamma and create a user gamma curve

having no dynamic range limitation.

3-2-7 Confirmation of the Time Code

and Tape Remaining

• If the white clip function is in use

When the SRW-1 HD Portable Digital Recorder is attached

to this camera, the time code of the recorder and

approximate tape remaining (unit: minutes) can be

confirmed on the subdisplay.

As the white clip function limits the level of output video,

the dynamic range specified for the input video may not be

obtained for video output.

• If “Select FPS” is ON and Compensation is in Gain

mode

Time code/tape remaining display page

The value of the dynamic range may decrease by up to half

at maximum, depending on the FPS settings.

TCR 00:00:00:00

20min

Memo

The time code is displayed on the first line, and the

approximate tape remaining is displayed on the second

line, in the range of 1 to 99 min.

Why the ISO sensitivity is defined for 20% input

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.

Outputs

When automatic white balance adjustment fails

If the automatic white balance adjustment process does not

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

displayed on the viewfinder screen for approximately three

seconds.

If this error message is displayed, try white balance

adjustment again.

If the subject has a higher color temperature, use an optical

filter or set 5600K to ON, then try white balance

adjustment again.

If the error message continues to be displayed after several

attempts, the camera requires internal inspection.

3-5-1 Selecting a Video Output

Signal for Each Connector

The type of video signals to be output to the MONITOR

OUT HD SDI 1/2, TEST OUT, and REMOTE connectors

can be selected.

For selection, use the <MONITOR OUTPUT> page of the

USER (OPERATION) menu that is displayed on the

viewfinder screen.

<MONITOR OUTPUT> page

Note

If the automatic white balance adjustment is performed on

a system where the Select FPS function (see page 55) is

available, set a value that is greater than half the maximum

FPS value as the FPS value. If you do not, the error

message “AWB: LOW FPS” will be displayed, and

automatic white balance adjustment will not be available.

Example: With S23.98PsF, as the maximum FPS value is

24 FPS, set it to 13 FPS or greater before the automatic

white balance adjustment is to be performed. Although

the maximum FPS value is 50 FPS with S59.94PsF, set

it to 31 FPS or greater.

FRAME RATE

Select the frame rate (number of frames per second) if a

format of “Select FPS” is selected.

The selecting range depends on the formats, as follows:

S50P/S59.94P/S60P 1 to 50 FPS

If a format other than formats of “Select FPS” has been

selected, the value is indicated in parentheses and cannot

be changed.

COMP MODE

This camera enables you to compensate for changes in the

video level when the FPS value is changed.

Two compensation modes are provided: one that depends

on shutter angles and another that depends on electric gain.

• ANGLE: Angle Compensation mode

When you change the frame rate, the shutter angle is

automatically corrected, retaining the video level.

Notes

• In Angle Compensation mode, the frame rate cannot be

changed to a lower value if the shutter angle comes to

near 0º, and it cannot be changed to a higher value if the

shutter angle comes to near 360º.

• When you activate Angle Compensation mode, the

shutter setting is automatically set to ON.

• GAIN: Gain Compensation mode

When you change the frame rate, the electric gain is

automatically corrected, retaining the video level.

The current shutter angle setting is maintained.

Notes

• Care must be taken when shooting a high-contrast

subject, as the dynamic range (latitude) may be degraded

to / at maximum, depending on the selected video

format or FPS.

3-11-1 Using the Standard Gamma

For details on the operator file, see “Chapter 5 Storage

and Retrieval of User Setting Data”.

Standard Gamma is for video and intended to be used

mainly for creating broadcast contents. It is used in

combination with the Knee function that adjusts the

dynamic range of high-luminance areas.

When STANDARD is selected on the first line of TABLE

of the <GAMMA> page, you can select from among the

following standard gamma curves:

Gamma table No. Gamma curve

equivalent to SD ENG camcorder

equivalent to 4.5-times gain

equivalent to 3.5-times gain

equivalent to SMPTE-240M

equivalent to ITU-R709

equivalent to 5.0-times gain

It is recommended to use the No. 5 (ITU-R709) curve in

normal use.

As ITU-R709 provides 4.5-times gain around the black,

select the No. 6 (×5) curve when you need higher contrast

around the black.

Resuming the Standard Conditions

Call the <WHITE CLIP> page of the PAINT menu and

adjust the white clip level to fit the selected hyper

gamma.

3-11-2 Using the Hyper Gamma

Hyper Gamma enables the wide dynamic range of the

CCD sensors to be reproduced in smooth contrast without

using the knee function.

You can easily adjust whether to widely reproduce high

contrast or to brightly reproduce the luminance of the

intermediate tones by selecting an appropriate curve.

Settings assuming usage of postproduction devices having

a white limit of 100% are also provided.

3-11-3 Using the S-LOG

When SPECIAL is selected on the first line of TABLE on

the <GAMMA> page, the second line indicates S-LOG

(Sony Log).

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.

Select HYPER on the first line of TABLE on the

<GAMMA> page, and select the hyper gamma table

most suitable to the shooting conditions and purpose.

With this “Digital Negative” you can have the conventional

3-11-4 Using the User Gamma

You can also create a desired gamma table, using a

personal computer on which software CvpFileEditor™

has been installed and load the table into the camera via a

“Memory Stick.”

When a user gamma table is selected, control of gamma

(LEVEL or ON/OFF) may become disabled, depending on

data of the table. This is because the gamma and knee are

compulsorily fixed when creating the gamma curve.

User gamma curves are initialized with S-LOG at the

factory. (The characteristic data of S-LOG can be output in

files, using the CvpFileEditor.)

Note

In Cine mode, some file operations will be limited.

Scene files

Scene files store data adjusted on the PAINT menu for

specific scenes.

The following six kinds of files are designed for the

system:

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.

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 are stored in built-in memory. You can also

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

Note

In Cine mode, scene file operation is disabled.

Items stored

The setting items in the OPERATION menu (page 60) and

the customized USER menu (page 84) can be stored.

To use 32 scene files

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

the MAINTENANCE menu.

Lens files

Note

Names of different lenses and standard values for these

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

the camera.

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.

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.)

Items stored

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”.

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

File Configuration

Reference file

Note

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.

In Cine mode, the OHB file can be retrieved automatically,

but the data in the OHB file cannot be modified.

Items stored

The items that are stored in the OHB file are marked with

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

Stored in Files”.

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.

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.

• 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

modification.

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.

Note

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

“Memory Stick” is not possible.

OHB file

The OHB file stores the offset values of items specific to

the CCD unit.

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

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

Unit for this operation.
