Adaptive Highlight ControlThe MSW-970 camcorder provides multipleknee-points/slopes for superior overexposure control.The camcorder analyzes the highlight areas of a scene andautomatically sets and optimizes multiple kneepoints/slopes accordingly. This enables the reproductionof extremely difficult images (such as an interior scene thatincludes a brightly sunlit window) with much moreoverexposure latitude. This function applies only to inputvideo levels in excess of the knee point; the middle- andlow-luminance parts of the video signal are unaffected bythis control.Input signal levelAuto slopeWhite clipKnee point nKnee point 3Auto Tracing White Balance (ATW)The MSW-970 offers an Auto Tracing White Balancefunction that automatically adjusts the camera’s colortemperature in real time with a change of the lighting.This is especially useful when a shoot is performed acrossdifferent environments, such as from indoors to outdoors.Multi-matrix FunctionThe Multi-matrix function enables color adjustments to beapplied over a color and/or hue range as specified by theoperator. The color spectrum is divided into 16 areas ofadjustment, where the hue and/or saturation of each areacan be adjusted. This provides interesting in-camera coloreffects – similar to secondary color correction.Knee point 2Knee point 1Knee point 0Output signal levelSelectable Gamma Table IncludingFilm-like GammaA selectable gamma table is provided to easily give aspecific look to a picture by selecting from multiple fixedgamma patterns including so-called film-like gamma. Fivepatterns of film-like gamma and six patterns of standardgamma can be selected.Triple Skin Tone Detail ControlThe MSW-970 comes equipped with a Triple Skin ToneDetail function, which allows for independent detail controlover three specified colors. This enhances the capability ofSkin Tone Detail correction - enabling one color selectionto be used for reducing the detail level of skin color, andtwo other selections to be used for either increasing ordecreasing the detail level of two other objects.Variable Black Gamma RangeThe Variable Black Gamma Range function allows for fineadjustment of tonal reproduction in the shadow area. Thisfeature can help to bring out details from the dark parts ofthe picture without affecting mid-tones while maintainingthe absolute black level. The variable range is LOW, LowMID, High MID, and HIGH.Multi-matrix ONSimulated imageElectronic Soft FocusThe Electronic Soft Focus included in the camcorder appliesan effect similar to using an optical soft-focus filter – but in amuch more convenient way. Electronic Soft Focus uses thedetail signal to reduce, rather than increase, the sharpnessof the picture. By subtracting the detail signal from theoriginal signal (as opposed to adding it as in conventionalimage enhancement), Electronic Soft Focus is able toprovide a picture that is “softer” than that achieved whendetail is switched off completely. Electronic Soft Focus canbe used in conjunction with Skin Tone Detail to change onlythe sharpness within a specific color or hue range.Color Temperature ControlIt is possible to dial in the required color temperature ofthe camera. The overall color balance of the picture canbe changed to make it warmer or cooler. This feature canbe used very creatively, particularly in scenes with mixedcolor lighting.7
