SHOOT MODE
Switch between CINE and CUSTOM on this line.
D-RANGE
With EXTEND, the dynamic range and sensitivity are 
improved. The S/N ratio is improved with NORMAL.
COLOR SPACE
Select color reproducibility:
S-GAMUT: This mode enables you to record with wider 
color space than with the conventional cameras (HDC-
F950, HDW-F900R, etc.) whose color space is 
equivalent to that available with film cameras.
With postproduction processes, color expression can be 
substantially extended.
For details on reproducible gamuts, see “Color Space 
According to the COLOR SPACE Settings” (page 136).
Images shot with the S-GAMUT setting will be seen in 
somewhat pale colors if they are reproduced on a 
conventional narrow color-space display, such as a 
CRT display.
F900: This mode enables you to shoot with color space 
equivalent to that available with conventional cameras. 
This facilitates color matching with conventional 
cameras. Furthermore, as wider color-space data 
available with this camera can be used without 
restriction, distinguishability of images with higher 
color saturation will be improved over that with 
conventional cameras.
F900R: This mode enables you to shoot with color space 
as close as possible to that of the HDW-F900R, by 
limiting the color space to that of the HDW-F900R. 
When using this camera in combination with the HDW-
F900R, use this mode for easy color matching.
This mode can be selected only when “COLOR 
F900R” is set to “ENABLE” on the  page 
of the MAINTENANCE menu.
DCDM REF PJ: This mode enables color reproducibility 
that is recommended by the Digital Cinema Initiatives 
(DCI). The camera can output signals for display 
devices that can reproduce this color space, such as a 
DLP projector.If a video production is to be displayed on a device that 
complies with the DCI standards, shooting in this mode 
will minimize the necessity for postproduction 
processes, such as color correction.

3-2-2 Shutter Settings
The electronic shutter of this camera can be adjusted, with 
settings displayed in shutter angles, as with a film camera, 
in addition to exposure time.
Two operation methods are available for the adjustment: 
stepwise and continuous.
Step mode
Your frequently used shutter values (8 values at maximum) 
can be registered, enabling stepwise selection of the 
shutter values.
At shipment, the following values are registered:
The corresponding shutter speeds vary according to the 
frame frequency and frame rate of the selected video 
format. The step shutter values can be changed and re-
registered on the  page of the 
USER (OPERATION) menu or the  
page of the USER (PAINT) menu.
Continuous mode (ECS)
The shutter values can be continuously changed in a range 
from 360.0 to 4.3 degrees.
To obtain your desired shutter value quickly, assign a value 
nearest your desired one in Step mode, switch to 
Continuous mode, then adjust the shutter value.
In a case where a remote control unit connected to the 
REMOTE connector of the camera is used, adjustment in 
Step mode is enabled with SHUTTER and adjustment in 
Continuous mode is enabled with ECS (there is no need to 
set to ECS ON). However, to display the shutter values on the remote control unit correctly, upgrading of the version 
is required.

For details on white balance adjustment, see “3-4 White 
Balance Adjustment (in Custom mode)” (page 43).
Indications of the ISO sensitivity and 
dynamic range
The ISO sensitivity value displayed on the Gain setting 
page is defined as “the value with which the video input 
becomes 20% when shooting a gray-scale chart of 18% 
reflection rate.”
Note that the video output value with respect to this input 
will vary depending on the selected gamma.
Either dynamic range or latitude can be selected for the 
indication. 
The value displayed with % as a dynamic range shows the 
limit on the high-luminance side in percentage (100%= input level) in a case where the white of the gray scale 
provides 100% (700 mV) output with the ITU-R709 
gamma (standard gamma).
The value displayed with E as a latitude shows the latitude 
on the high-luminance side by an f-stop value, using a 
gray-scale chart of 18% reflection rate as the key light.
The gradation at the low-luminance side can be reproduced 
up to approx. –6.5 stop at 0 dB.
As the dynamic range indication shows a value for the 
input video, the dynamic range of the output video is 
limited by the output settings as follows:
 If a gamma other than S-LOG is selected
The upper limit is clipped according to the output video 
limitation specified by the gamma setting.
When you select a curve as Hyper Gamma No. 4, which 
compresses 460% input to 109%, the output video is fed 
within the range up to 460% of input video even if 800% 
is displayed on the subdisplay as the dynamic range as the 
output video is limited to 109%.
Using CvpFileEditor V4.1, you can change the dynamic 
range of Hyper Gamma and create a user gamma curve 
having no dynamic range limitation.
If the white clip function is in use
As the white clip function limits the level of output video, 
the dynamic range specified for the input video may not be 
obtained for video output.
If “Select FPS” is ON and Compensation is in Gain 
mode
The value of the dynamic range may decrease by up to half  
at maximum, depending on the FPS settings.
Why the ISO sensitivity is defined for 20% input
Defining the level of gray scale of 18% reflection rate for 
the ISO sensitivity on the linear curve (defining with input 
signal) permits you to use the values as the absolute 
reference for proper gamma conversion in postproduction.
In addition, defining the output for 20% input with ITU-
R709 so that it becomes the reference code for Cineon 
curve allows high compatibility.3-2-7 Selection of a Lens File
With this camera, the compensation data for the mounted 
lens can be adjusted in Custom mode and registered in the 
built-in memory in lens files (max. 32 files).
You can invoke the compensation data for the mounted 
lens by merely selecting the corresponding file.

WARNING/FAN MAX message is displayed, the Fan 
Operation mode setting is automatically changed to 
MAX. After the temperature is sufficiently lowered and 
the message disappears, manually restore the original 
mode.
 When the video format is set to 50P, S50P, S59.94P, or 
S60P, the fans are controlled as in AUTO1 mode even if 
AUTO2 or MIN mode has been selected, so that any rise 
in internal temperature due to an increase in power 
consumption will be suppressed. The control function in 
synchronization with recording does not operate in this 
condition.
To change Fan Operation mode using the menu
You can also change Fan Operation mode (FAN MODE) 
by using the  page on the USER 
(MAINTENANCE) menu (page 88).

SettingOperation of the fans
AUTO1 (default) The fans are automatically controlled 
according to the internal temperature. 
During recording, the fans are 
controlled for a quiet condition.
 1) 
Normally use this mode.
AUTO2 The fans are normally controlled as 
those in MIN mode and for a quieter 
condition during recording.
1) Note that 
recording time must be limited to a short 
duration. Use this mode only under 
ordinary ambient temperature.
MIN The quietest fan operation is maintained 
without synchronization with recording.
This is the best mode if recording must 
be made for more than 30 minutes in a 
quiet condition such as a concert hall.
Use this mode only under ordinary 
ambient temperature.
MAX The fans rotate at the maximum speed 
to lower the internal temperature.
