HLG Still Image

still image

By using gamma characteristics equivalent to HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma: standard for HDR images), you can shoot still images with a wide dynamic range and a wide color gamut compatible with BT.2020.

[HLG Still Image] can only be set when shooting in the HEIF format. Set [JPEG/HEIF Switch] to [HEIF(4:2:0)] or [HEIF(4:2:2)], and [File Format] under [Image Quality Settings] to [HEIF] beforehand.

  1. MENU → (Shooting) → [Image Quality/Rec] → [HLG Still Image] → desired setting.

Menu item details

On:
Shoots HLG still images.

Hint

  • You can reproduce a wider range of brightness by playing back HLG still images on an HLG-compatible TV or monitor.
  • You can display HLG still images on the camera’s monitor in almost the same quality as when they are displayed on an HLG- (BT.2020-) compatible monitor by setting as follows.

    • [Gamma Disp. Assist Typ.]: [Auto] or [HLG(BT.2020)]
