Pedestal [–10 to +10]
This item is used to adjust the black level (adjust the 
pedestal) so that the dark parts of the images are easier 
to see.
These parts become darker when a negative setting is 
selected and, conversely, lighter when a positive setting is 
selected.
DRS [Off, Low, High]
Set here is the DRS function which provides just the right 
amount of compensation when images with significant 
light/dark differences are displayed.
When “Low” or “High” is selected, the effect is enhanced 
even more.
This may make noise more perceptible with some scenes.
Gamma Type [Off, Normal, Cinema]
Selected here is the type of gamma curve.
The selected setting takes effect when “Off” is selected as 
the “DRS” item setting. 
Normally, the “Normal” setting is used. 
When “Cinema” is selected, images giving off an 
atmosphere like movies can be shot.
Gamma Level [Low, Mid, High]
This item is used to adjust the gamma compensation level.
The item’s setting takes effect when “Off” has been 
selected as the “DRS” setting and “Normal” as the 
“Gamma Type” setting.
When “Low” is set, the images appear sedate and 
composed. The resulting gamma curve has a gentle 
gradient in the low-brightness areas, and the contrast is 
sharper.
Conversely, when “High” is set, the tonal range in the dark 
area is expanded so that the images take on a lighter 
tone. The resulting gamma curve has a sharp gradient in 
the low-brightness areas, and the contrast is softer.
Back Light COMP. [Off, On]
“On” or “Off” is set here for the backlight compensation 
function.
Under backlight conditions, the function prevents 
darkening as a result of light striking the backs of subjects, 
and makes it possible to shoot images in shade or shadow 
more brightly.
The function takes effect when “Auto” has been selected 
as the Contrast Mode, Gain or Frame Mix item setting.
Day/Night [Day, Night]
This is used to select normal shooting or low light shooting 
(by exposing the subjects to infrared rays).
Day:  Normal shooting
Night:   Low light shooting
  In Night mode, Black-and-white images are 
output. 
The lens iris is forcibly set to open.
