About the gamma display assist function
Movie images applied with [S-LOG2] or [S-LOG3] have low contrast because they are assumed to be processed after recording.
Also, movie images applied with [HLG], [HLG1], [HLG2] or [HLG3] are displayed in low contrast if the images are displayed in a finder or LCD monitor which does not support HDR, and movie images with the [BT.2020] color mode setting are displayed in faint color. Either of the images are therefore difficult to monitor as it is.
Using [GAMMA DISP ASSIST], an image contrast equivalent to that of movies recorded normally can be reproduced on the LCD monitor or viewfinder of the camcorder, and this makes it easy to monitor the image.
Note
- When setting to [AUTO] during playback, images of the AVCHD and XAVC S movies other than those recorded with [HLG] are displayed based on the current gamma setting and color mode setting in [PICTURE PROFILE].
Hint
- You can assign this function to the ASSIGN button.
