Video setup Color bar • High Quality mode — for studio locations and other environments with very good lighting conditions. This mode provides superior quality pictures with very low noise. • Nominal mode — for general purpose situations with variable lighting conditions. This mode provides very good pictures with low noise. • High Sensitivity mode —for situations with poor lighting conditions. This mode results in acceptable quality pictures.
LDX 100 User’s Guide Gain Depending on the available light level it may be necessary to adjust the video gain settings of the camera. CGP Turn the upper ring on the stick to vary Gain in steps of 0.1 dB. CAM On the camera, Gain is selected via the GAIN switch on the left side panel of the camera: GAIN COLOR TEMP EXP. TIME • When the switch (plus or minus) is pressed initially, the current Gain value is displayed in the viewfinder.
Video setup Gamma (NOT valid for HDR) ☞ Selecting high Gain levels may introduce noise into the image. Note Note Gamma (NOT valid for HDR) Gamma correction To compensate for the non-linear response of display devices, a gamma correction is applied to the video signal. The gamma correction adjusts the tonal response of the standard transfer curve. 100 γ = 0.35 (Master Gamma=100) 80 60 40 γ =1.
LDX 100 User’s Guide ☞ It is also possible to change Gamma for each channel (R,G,B). Changing the slopes of the Note Note individual color gamma changes the representation of white in the mid-range tonal values. Contrast Contrast adjustment To create more or less contrast in the picture, luminance levels can be adjusted independently for three tonal ranges: shadows, midtones and highlights.

LDX 100 User’s Guide • Sft Fcs - Soft focus filter ☞ The camera does not need color optical filters to be able to white balance correctly. The Note Note range of the auto-white balance is so wide (from 2500 K to 20000 K) that there is never any need to use color filters to obtain the correct white balance. Exposure Exposure time ☞ Exposure times other than nominal is not available in high speed video modes.
Video setup Lighting correction Lighting correction The exposure selection also includes lighting control positions which can be used when shooting with lighting that is operating at a different frequency to the camera. There are two positions: 50 Hz and 60 Hz. Each of these positions can be varied further in a range from -10 to +10 Hz.
LDX 100 User’s Guide A continuous automatic white balance position (AWC) is also available. This function continuously measures the white balance and adjusts it accordingly. It can be used when a constant color balance is required under changing lighting temperatures (sunsets, indoors/outdoors use). Color Tint In some cases, color temperature alone is not enough to fully compensate for color cast so an additional tint adjustment is needed.
Video setup Variable color temperature • AW1 - Auto White memory position 1 • AW2 - Auto White memory position 2 and one automatic continuous white position: • AWC - Auto White Continuous measurement (from 2500 K to 20000 K) ☞ If AWC is selected, the non-standard indicator in the viewfinder lights (only for ocular Note Note viewfinders).

The transition between the corrected and uncorrected color area can be set to sharp, medium or smooth using the Smoothing function. ☞ You can reset the color corrector by activating the Reset CC item. All color correction sets Note Note are reset to their nominal values.
LDX 100 User’s Guide Lens related functions Detail follows Gain By nature, high video gain levels introduce more noise which have a negative effect on Detail processing. When switched on, the Detail follows Gain function decreases Detail for higher gain values. Detail follows Zoom Typically, close up shots contain larger and fewer image elements than wide angle shots.
Video setup Skin Detail Auto Skin Detail Carry out the Auto Skin Detail procedure as follows: 1 In the camera menu, navigate to the Creative Control > Sharpness > Skin Detail and use the Skin Gate item to select 1, 2 or 3.
