Gamma Disp. Assist

Movies with S-Log gamma are assumed to be processed after shooting in order to make use of the wide dynamic range. They are therefore displayed in low contrast during shooting, and may be difficult to monitor. However, you can use the [Gamma Disp. Assist] function to reproduce contrast equivalent to that of normal gamma. In addition, [Gamma Disp. Assist] can also be applied when playing back movies on the camera's monitor/viewfinder.

  1. MENU (Setup) → [Gamma Disp. Assist].
  2. Select the desired setting using the top/bottom sides of the control wheel.

Note

  • When [Gamma Disp. Assist] is set to [Auto] during playback, the picture is displayed based on the current gamma setting in [Picture Profile] instead of auto-detecting the gamma value of the movie.
  • [Gamma Disp. Assist] is not applied to movies when displayed on a TV or monitor connected to the camera.
