High Dynamic Range
(HDR)
Reproduction of brightness over a wider
range than previously available is now
supported by applying an HDR-compatible
picture profile. The camcorder supports
Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG), with four
selectable settings.
The [HLG] setting is equivalent to ITU-R
BT.2100. The [HLG1], [HLG2], and
[HLG3] settings enable images to be
reproduced with a wider dynamic range
without images that appear unnatural, as can
arise in existing camera image reproduction.
Shooting using HDR-
compatible picture profile
[PP10] has been added for shooting in HDR.

other metadata required for HDR playback and
display are stored in the video file.
On devices used for playback and display that
support the metadata, the video is displayed
automatically with the appropriate settings. On
devices that do not support the metadata, manual
configuration is required.
• For AVCHD recording / MPEG HD
recording
AVCHD format recordings and MPEG HD
format recordings do not support HDR metadata.
For appropriate playback and display of HDR,
manual configuration is required.

Description
[HLG]
Setting equivalent to ITU-R
BT.2100.
[HLG1]
Setting that provides greater
noise suppression than [HLG2].
However, the dynamic range that
can be shot is narrower.
[HLG2]
Setting with balance between
dynamic range and noise
suppression.
[HLG3]
Setting that provides wider
dynamic range than [HLG2].
However, the noise level rises.
[HLG1], [HLG2], and [HLG3] all use the
same gamma curve characteristic. Only the
dynamic range and noise suppression
characteristics differ.
