Up to six different picture-tonal settings can be saved in the
memory with custom 12-character names as picture profiles on
the HDR-FX1000 and displayed on the LCD monitor at the touch
of a button. This allows operators to easily call up customized
picture-tonal settings to suit particular shooting conditions,
rather than having to readjust the camera each time. The factory
default setting includes six pre-loaded picture profiles for typical
shooting conditions.

x.v.Color
™
technology can capture or display nearly twice as
many (1.8x) viewable colors than possible with the traditional RGB
color standard. This provides a more accurate and vivid color
range, for a more natural, lifelike overall experience.
Center Marker/Guide-frame
The LCD and viewfinder feature a Center Marker that lets users
identify the center of the screen at a glance. Users can also
display a Guide-frame grid on the screen that simplifies the
vertical and horizontal alignment of shots.
Histogram display
When the histogram feature is turned on, a graph of the image’s
brightness distribution appears. This gives you an objective
determination of whether the video image as a whole is bright or
dim. This makes it a handy guideline for brightness adjustment.
You can adjust the camera’s brightness and AE shift while
checking this display.
Color bar
Four types of Color Bars are available for use. These are
convenient for color adjustment when playing back images
on a TV or monitor.
Peaking
This feature emphasizes the screen’s edge in the LCD and
viewfinder, making it easier to adjust the focus. You can change
the peaking color to white, red or yellow, according to the color
of the subject, and you can also set the peaking level to high,
medium, or low. This feature is handy when shooting with manual
focus, because it makes it easy to tell where the focus is currently.
Zebra display
While you are shooting, you can add a
striped pattern to bright areas of the video
image and display it in the LCD and
viewfinder. You can use this as a rough
guide for adjusting brightness and help
to prevent blocked highlights.
