This section describes commonly-used functions.
Black Level and White Level adjustments are the adjustment values that are in effect before the signals 
are sampled by the A/D converter, and so they are adjusted to match the input signal so that they do not cause 
distortion. Use Color Adjustment to adjust the color and contrast.
This adjusts the brightness of dark shades. It lets you adjust dark shades without affecting the brightness of 
light shades.
Use the Black Level item in the Video menu to change the setting. (p.25)
If adjusted to the + side, the luminosity of dark scenes 
increases and different tones become clearer, but contrast 
is reduced.
If adjusted to the - side, the brightness of dark shades is 
reduced and images with greater contrast are obtained, 
but differences in dark areas become less distinct.
This adjusts the brightness of light shades. It lets you adjust light shades without affecting the brightness of 
dark shades.
Use the White Level item in the Video menu to change the setting. (p.25)
If adjusted to the + side, the luminosity of light scenes 
increases and contrast become clearer, but differences in 
light tones are reduced.
If adjusted to the - side, differences in light areas become 
more distinct, but contrast is reduced.
This adjusts the hues of light shades to the desired hues.
Modes for adjusting the Color Temperature
 and for adjusting each individual R/G/B setting are available.
Use the Color Temp item in the Video menu to change the setting. (p.26, 28)
Color temperature setting
This mode can be used to adjust the color temperature 
and flesh tones.
•
•• •The Color Temp. setting allows lighter colors to be 
adjusted so that they range from having a red tinge to 
having a blue tinge. When the color temperature is 
lower, the red content is greater and color tones appear 
softer. When the color temperature is higher, the blue 
content is greater and color tones appear fresher.
•
•• •The Flesh Tone setting adjusts the green component 
of image signals. If adjusted to the - side, the green 
component is reduced and colors appear purplish. If 
adjusted to the + side, the green component is increased. 
Adjust until the desired flesh tones are obtained.

Using the Menu Functions
The environment setting menus can be used to carry out a variety of settings and adjustments. Two types of menu (full 
menus and line menus) can be used to make environment settings. This section describes all of the functions that are 
available in the environment setting menus using the full menus as examples. The menus have a hierarchical structure, 
with a main menu that is divided into sub-menus.
Refer to Using the Environment Setting Menus (p.18) for details on using the menus.
