Picture Profile
Up to six different picture-quality settings, including
gamma and colo
ur settings, can be registered in the
memory as picture profiles. This labo
ur-saving function
allows operators to easily recall customi
sed picture-
quality settings for various shooting conditions. It is also
useful for matching footage shot at different times or for
multi-camera setups.
The picture-profile functions of the HVR-Z7E and
HVR-S270E include enhanced versions from the HVR-Z1E
or HVR-V1E, plus a selection of new functions.
Colour Depth
Generally, the brightness of a video image increases as
the colo
ur level becomes more vivid. In these new
camcorders, the brightness and colo
ur level are processed
independently so that more flexible tone – for instance, a
dark image with a vivid colo
ur – is realised by 3D-LUT colour
processing.
Note: 3D-LUT = three-dimensional look-up table
Colour Correction
The Colo
ur Correction function of the HVR-Z1E has been
improved in the HVR-Z7E and HVR-S270E camcorders.
Colo
ur Correction provides two functions for creative
shooting. The Colo
ur Extraction function can retain up to
two desired colo
urs of monitored pictures in the screen,
while making all other colo
urs black and white. The
advanced function allows users to select the colo
ur simply
by pressing a button to memori
se the centre colour of the
captured image.
The Colo
ur Revision function can change the hue of only
the colo
ur designated by the Colour Extraction function.
This function is good not only for creating impressive
images, but also for blue- or green-screen shooting in
order to normali
se uneven colour.
The colo
ur data is stored in each Picture Profile so that
users can select the most suitable colo
ur setting for each
shooting situation.
WB Shift
The WB (White Balance) Shift function allows users to
create an impressive colo
ur or to adjust the colour
temperature of the camcorder.
There are two WB Shift options to choose from:
•LB-CC type: adjusting the LB axis (colo
ur temperature)
and CC filter effect
•R-B level type: adjusting the red and blue levels
Skintone Detail
This function allows users to change the sharpness of an
object with a specific colo
ur and is particularly good for
making skin tones look more natural. The target colo
ur can
be specified by controlling the Phase/Range/Saturation/Y
Level/Y Range parameters or by pressing a button to
specify the colo
ur of an object with a colour picker.
If the sharpness of the background object is decreased,
the blur looks more natural.
