Expressing the texture of objects (detail enhancement) When expressing the outline or surface texture of an object, faint reflection of light may be intensified or, to the contrary, the picture may look blurred. This is a phenomenon caused by the strength / weakness of Detail signal to intensify the video signal for the object’s outline.

KNEE control Due to bright sunny weather or lighting, “blown-out highlights” can sometimes occur, where bright areas look completely white with little to no detail visible. This is a phenomenon caused by the luminance signals that are out of the camera’s Dynamic Range (processing range).
  • Page 80 The AG-CX350 Book: Understanding scene file operation KNEE MASTER POINT: 107% Highlight areas tend to be overexposed (no gradations visible) when value is increased. KNEE MASTER POINT: 93.0% KNEE MASTER POINT: 80.0% Gradations in the highlight areas become visible when value is decreased.

  • Page 81: Gamma Settings

    There are cases where the color and contrast, which look natural to the eye, are not fully reproduced in the captured image. An effective way to improve the gradation of the output signal is to select a suitable Gamma curve according to the scene conditions. The AG-CX350 series offers eight types of different Gamma curves.
