3-7-4 Magnifying the Image Display
The image output on the SDI OUT2 connector and in the 
viewfinder can be magnified by assigning the Mag 
function to an ASSIGN button.
1) The magnification 
changes between 2-times, 4-times, and Off each time the 
ASSIGN button is pressed.
The position of the magnified image can be adjusted by 
assigning the Mag Position function to another ASSIGN 
button. The position of the magnified image moves one 
step from top left to bottom right each time the ASSIGN 
button is pressed.
1) The signal output in the viewfinder is active only when SDI OUT2 is  selected as the signal source. 
 The Mag function can only be used for the image output 
from the SDI OUT2 connector. 
 The Mag function cannot be used during Rec Review in  HD mode or when Frame Rate is set to a “ForPB” setting 
in F65RAW-HFR mode.
 The magnified display returns to normal 30 seconds after  pressing the ASSIGN button. Also, the display returns to 
normal when power is applied and when recording starts.
When the image is magnified, the following information is 
displayed in the viewfinder. 
a Magnification
When the image is magnified by 2, “Mag x 2” is displayed; 
when magnified by 4, “Mag x 4” is displayed.
b Magnification position
Displays the position of the magnified image.
ItemSetting
Center Sets whether to display the center  marker. 
Effective Sets whether to display the effective  pixel area. 
Aspect Ratio Selects the aspect ratio when Effective  is set to On. The following options are 
available.
2.39:1, 2.35:1, 1.90:1, 1.85:1, 1.78:1, 
1.66:1, 1.33:1, Variable*
a)When Variable is selected, the displayed 
aspect ratio is determined by the Width and 
Height settings. 
Example: Variable (1.78:1).
Width Specifies the width of the effective pixel  area (960 to 1920 pixels) when Aspect 
Ratio is set to Variable. 
Height Specifies the height of the effective pixel  area (540 to 1080 pixels) when Aspect 
Ratio is set to Variable. 
Mask Selects whether to enable/disable  darkening of the image outside the 
selected Aspect Marker. When selected, 
the outer area color is displayed in B&W. 
Level Sets the darkness level (0 to 4) of the  image outside the selected Aspect 
Marker. 
ItemSetting
DC IN (24V) Type Selects the 24 V system supply settings. You can set Near End and End 
threshold values for both Type1 and 
Type2.
Near End Sets the 24 V power supply Near End  value (20.5 V to 30.0 V). The default is 
22.2 V. 
End Sets the 24 V power supply End value (20.0 V to 24.0 V). The default is 21.6 V. 
DC IN (12V) Type Selects the 12 V system supply settings. You can set Near End and End 
threshold values for both Type1 and 
Type2.
Near End Sets the 12 V power supply Near End  value (11.0 V to 17.0 V). The default is 
11.1 V. 
End Sets the 12 V power supply End value  (10.5 V to 14.0 V). The default is 10.8 V.

out Highlights and Low Key Clipped 
Blacks
Blown-out highlights and clipped blacks in the output 
image on the SDI OUT2 connector can be monitored using 
an ASSIGN button assigned with the Hi/Lo Key function. 
The image switches between high-key monitoring 
(reduced gain), low-key monitoring (increased gain), and 
normal settings each time the ASSIGN button is pressed. 
When the image is set for high-key monitoring or low-key 
monitoring, the following indicator appears in the 
viewfinder. 
3-8 Restoring the factory 
default settings
Settings can be restored to their factory default values by 
executing the Gamma File Preset, LUT File Preset, ASC 
CDL File Preset, and All File Preset commands on the 
 page in the File menu (page 58), and the All 
Reset command on the  page in the 
Network menu  (page 60).
Execute the All File Preset command after upgrading
