CREATIVE VERSATILITY Knee Saturation Control In general, shooting very bright portions of an object such as key light reflections from a person’s forehead can reduce color saturation and change the hue in highlight areas. The knee saturation control function incorporated in the DXC-D55/D55WS Series effectively reduces this ‘washed-out’ effect on saturation and hue changes, and reproduces far more natural color in highlight areas. Knee Saturation Control Off Knee Saturation Control On Images sim

Adaptive Highlight Control The DXC-D55/D55WS Series offers an outstanding overexposure control by applying multiple knee-points/slopes to handle highlight areas in a dynamic manner. By analyzing the highlight areas of a scene, the camera automatically sets and optimizes multiple knee points/slopes accordingly. This enables the Adaptive Highlight Control Off Adaptive Highlight Control On reproduction of extremely difficult scenes (for Images simulated example, an interior scene with a bright il
