Saturated Cinema

A powerful, high-saturation cinematic style, distinct from Fuji emulations. It utilizes a wide color space to produce deep, rich colors with a filmic gamma curve, well-suited for vivid visual storytelling.

White Balance Shift

4000K, A7-M1

Temperature4000KColourSet below neutral — renders cooler

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/BA7ColourFull 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.

Shift G/M

Picture Profile

Black Level-5ContrastShadows deepened slightly — tighter contrast in dark tones

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.

GammaCine4ContrastFilm curve with firmer contrast in the dark areas

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 GammaWide -5ContrastShadow 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 87.5% +3ContrastFirm roll-off — highlights compressed to hold detail

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-Gamut3ColourWide gamut — holds more colour than the screen shows, for grading

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+32ColourColour 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 Phase+6ColourWhole palette rotated towards red

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-3ColourReds slightly paler

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

G-2ColourGreens slightly paler

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

B+3ColourBlues 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).
