White Balance Shift

3700K, A5-M1.5

Temperature3700KColourSet well below the light — renders strongly cool

The colour temperature the camera balances for. Set it higher than the actual light and the image renders warmer; lower and it renders cooler.

Shift A/BA5ColourFull amber push — clearly warmer

Fine adjustment along the amber–blue axis, on top of the temperature. A warms the image, B cools it. Seven steps each way, in quarter increments.

Picture Profile

Black Level-9ContrastBlacks crushed hard — deep, punchy shadows with dense contrast

Adjusts the master black level. Lower (-) values deepen shadow contrast for rich, punchy blacks. Higher (+) values lift shadows for a soft, matte, film-like faded look without affecting highlight contrast.

GammaS-CinetoneContrastSoft cinematic curve — gentle highlights, flattering skin

Selects the gamma curve that defines overall tonal response and contrast foundation. Options range from standard contrast (Movie/Still) to smooth filmic curves (Cine1–4, S-Cinetone) or ultra-wide dynamic range for grading (S-Log2/S-Log3, HLG).

Black GammaNarrow -7ContrastShadow detail pulled well down — dense, moody dark areas

Controls contrast specifically in low-luminance shadow regions. 'Range' (Narrow/Middle/Wide) sets the shadow width affected, while 'Level' (-7 to +7) darkens or lightens that shadow zone to fine-tune shadow texture.

KneeManual 75% +5ContrastKnee effectively off — highlights run straight to clipping

Controls highlight compression to preserve bright details and prevent highlight clipping. Auto mode handles highlight rolloff automatically; Manual mode lets you set the compression start threshold (Point: 75%–105%) and roll-off steepness (Slope: -5 to +5).

Color ModeS-CinetoneColourCinematic colour — restrained, filmic hues

Determines the color matrix and color space reproduction type. Matches color rendering characteristics to the chosen Gamma (e.g. S-Cinetone for natural skin tones, Cinema/Pro for rich movie colors, or ITU709 for standard broadcast).

Saturation+25ColourColour pushed hard — vivid, high-impact hues

Adjusts overall color intensity across all channels. Higher values yield vibrant, vivid colors; lower values produce muted, desaturated tones. Range is -32 to +32 — dramatically wider than Creative Look saturation.

Color Phase0ColourHue left where the camera puts it

Shifts the entire color spectrum hue globally. Negative (-) values shift all colors towards green; positive (+) values shift colors towards red/magenta. Useful for subtle global hue correction or matching camera bodies.

Color Depth

R-1ColourReds slightly paler

Red channel. Increase (+) for darker, richer reds — lipstick, skin. Decrease (-) for lighter, paler reds.

G+3ColourGreens slightly deeper

Green channel. Increase (+) for darker, richer greens — foliage. Decrease (-) for lighter, paler greens.

B+2ColourBlues slightly deeper

Blue channel. Increase (+) for darker, richer blues — clothing, streets. Decrease (-) for lighter, paler blues.

Detail

Level0DetailSharpening at the camera default

Sets the master sharpening level (-7 to +7). Negative (-) values soften edge contours for a organic filmic texture; positive (+) values sharpen fine details.

AdjustManualDetailDetail sub-settings dialled in by hand

Selects Auto for automatic camera detail processing or Manual to unlock full manual tuning of V/H Balance, B/W Balance, Limit, Crispening, and Hi-Light Detail.

V/H Balance+2DetailHorizontal detail favoured — edges thicken left and right

Adjusts the sharpening balance between vertical and horizontal edge lines. Range is -2 (accentuates vertical lines) to +2 (accentuates horizontal lines).
