Gamma Display Assist Function
When [Project] – [Base Setting] – [Target Display] is set to [HDR] in the full menu, you can set [Gamma Display Assist] to [On] on the [Monitoring] status screen to view an assisted display on the LCD monitor that makes shooting in HDR easier. Can also be configured using [Monitoring] – [Gamma Display Assist] – [Setting] in the full menu.
Selecting the LCD monitor display when the gamma display assist function is enabled
There are two display methods supported for displaying HDR images on the LCD monitor when the gamma display assist function is enabled.
Displaying HDR with maintained contrast between low luminance areas and high luminance areas
Images can be displayed on the LCD monitor without crushed blacks or blown-out highlights by taking advantage of the expressiveness of HDR, even when shooting with bright or dark exposure. However, the contrast is slightly reduced.
To use this display method, set [Project] – [HDR Setting] – [LCD Monitor SDR Preview] to [Off] in the full menu.
Displaying SDR by simple conversion from HDR to SDR
This method allows you to operate the camera with the same feeling as conventional SDR.
You can adjust the brightness of the HDR image by setting the difference in gain between HDR and SDR using [SDR Gain].
To use this display method, configure using the following procedure.
- Set [Project] – [HDR Setting] – [LCD Monitor SDR Preview] to [On] in the full menu.
- Adjust the SDR gain value for HDR mode using [Project] – [HDR Setting] – [SDR Gain] in the full menu.
Hint
- When converting from an HDR image to SDR using SR Live Metadata after shooting, [SDR Gain] is applied to the conversion so that the SDR image display has the same exposure that was viewed on the LCD monitor at the time of shooting.
