1-1. Image size comparison between 4K/UHD and HD formats
The UHD (3840x2160) image is four times sharper than an FHD 1080p image (nine times that of720p). And the 4096x2160 resolution (referred to as “4K” on AG-UX180), which is often used forcinema shooting, has a slightly wider image aspect ratio of 17:9. In comparison to a UHD image,this is an extra 256 pixels in the horizontal direction.

The AG-UX180 is equipped with an HDMI 2.0 output port (HDMI1.4a for AG-UX90). It allows thecamera to output stunning UHD/59.94p or 50.00p images (UHD/25p for AG-UX90) in playback
mode and camera through mode.
Note: Output image is down-converted to 1080p from UHD/59.94p or 50p once recording starts.

PEAKING) can be individually recalled with USER assignable buttons.
How to use
1. Set the FOCUS mode to MANUAL.
2. Press the FOCUS ASSIST button located at the left side of the unit or assign the FOCUS

4-5. Understanding user customizable image stabilizer

UX180

UX90

Much higher performance is required of image stabilizers for 4K/UHD cameras because even asmall amount of shake can easily be seen when working in these resolutions. The AG-UX series
is equipped with nine times higher stabilization performance achieved through an expandedstabilization range. The stabilization characteristics can also be customized to meet professional
requirements.
Detectable and Stabilizable range comparison

Customizing image stabilization characteristic
1. MENU > SW SETUP > CUSTOM O.I.S : ON
2. MENU > SW SETUP > Set “BLUR AMPLITUDE” and “BLUR FREQ” as explained below.

BLUR AMPLITUDE adjustment- Factory default setting = 3 (adjustable range: 1 - - - 3 - - - 5)
- Choose smaller values when motion of camera work is not so large (suitable for steady shots).
- Choose larger values when recording while moving.
- When increasing this value, OIS can compensate small to large shake levels but is not suitable
for steady shots.

BLUR FREQUENCY adjustment- Factory default setting = 2 (adjustable range: 1, 2, 3)
1: Image stabilizer actively responds from rapid camera shaking to slow shaking. This mode issuitable for steady shots.
2: Image stabilizer actively responds for relatively rapid shaking.
3: Image stabilizer effect weakens or strengthens dynamically. Effect level becomes stronger
for rapid shaking, and becomes weaker for slow shaking making it suitable for scenes thatfrequently use panning.

The AG-UX series is equipped with customizable auto focus to meet professional requirements.
Customizing image stabilization characteristic
1. MENU > SW SETUP > CUSTOM AF : ON
2. MENU > SW SETUP > Set “AF SPEED” and “AF SENSITIVITY” as explained below.

AF SPEED (focusing speed) adjustment- Factory default setting = 0 (adjustable range: -5 - - - 0 - - - +5)- Focusing speed increase as the value increases.

Note: When increasing the value of AF SPEED control, the motor operation sound becomes
louder and may be recorded.

AF SENSITIVITY (focusing response) adjustment- Factory default setting = 5 (adjustable range: 0 - - - 5 - - - 10)- Focusing response becomes faster as the value increases. This makes it suitable to follow fast
moving objects.

5. Understanding scene file operations
The following six different scene presets come standard with the camera, and can be user
customized if required.

5-1. SCENE FILE presets
F1:

Basic setting

F2: FLUO

Suitable for recording where the characteristics of fluorescent lamps are taken
into consideration (example: shooting indoors).
Most of the parameters are equal to “F1:” but the MATRIX is adjusted for
fluorescent lighting. This is not particularly necessary under the fluorescentlighting close to natural light color temperature.
But it is suitable for recording conditions where the color reproduction is poor
due to blue-intense fluorescent lamps.

F3: SPARK

Suitable for recording with richer color level and sharper contrast.
The picture will be showy with vivid colors and give a bright impression.

F4: STILL

Suitable for digital still camera-like recording.

F5: CINE V

F6: CINE D

Suitable for movie-like recording where importance is placed on contrast.
This has a Gamma curve that makes a movie-like picture using a video camera.
Suitable for movie-like recording where importance is placed on the Dynamic
Range. This Gamma gives priority to the Dynamic (D) Range and maintains
the gradation that ranges evenly from low to high level.
If the post-production editing or a kinescope is planned, this can be selected
because recording in this mode will make such post-processing easier andsmoother. Also, it will create a unique atmosphere which can sometimes beused as an effect.

5-3. Expressing the texture of objects (detail enhancement)
When expressing the outline or surface texture of an object, faint reflection of light may beintensified or, to the contrary, the picture may look blurred. This is a phenomenon caused by thestrength / weakness of Detail signal to intensify the video signal for the object’s outline.
Adjustment of Detail signal can make the object’s luster or texture look more natural.

[V DETAIL LEVEL］-7 - - - 0 - - - +7

Detail control
This is an outline signal which is added to a video signal.
If the Detail level is increased, the edges of video signal will be intensified and outlines in the
picture will look sharper. If the Detail level is decreased, the edges of video signal will be
weakened and the picture will look softer with its outline enhancement suppressed.

5. Understanding scene file operations
Detail coring control
Outline compensation can be performed by adjusting the Detail, and enhanced outlines enable
clear representation of images. But at the same time it may make the picture look coarse. Thisoccurs because added Detail will also work on low-level signals which include noise.
Detail coring function can adjust the range of added Detail signal but also helps to reduce the noise
introduced by the Detail circuits.
Noise is a low-level signal. So, when Detail coring is set to a higher level than noise signals, theDetail signal will work only on higher-brightness signals, and not on the noise.
By using this control, the outline of an object can be enhanced and its texture will look the same
while the effects of increased image coarseness are suppressed.

5-5. Expressing the gradation of a picture (Knee, Gamma)
Due to bright sunny weather or lighting, “blown-out highlights” can sometimes occur, where brightareas look completely white. This is a phenomenon caused by the luminance signals that are outof the camera’s Dynamic Range (processing range). In order to put such high-brightness input
signals within the Dynamic Range, Knee function can be used to compress the gradation.

5. Understanding scene file operations
Gamma settings
There are cases where the color and contrast, which look natural to the eye, are not fully
reproduced in the captured image. An effective way to improve the gradation of the output signal
is to select a suitable Gamma curve according to the scene conditions. The AG-UX series offers
eight types of different Gamma curves.
HD:
This is a video Gamma characteristic for HD (High Definition).
This Gamma complies with the standards defined by ARIB, EBU, SMPTE, etc. Use this forthe purpose of normal HD shooting.
SD:
Gain is increased for dark areas more than HD Gamma.
This Gamma curve can be used for shooting in SD mode, or for HD shooting that needs thesame Gamma as used in SD shooting.
FILMLIKE 1:
Compared with HD Gamma, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better. Using this Gamma curve which gently slopes for the
low-brightness area makes the picture look calm. Contrast becomes sharper and thegradation expression of the middle- and high-brightness areas (face, etc.) is extended.
FILMLIKE 2:
Compared with FILM LIKE 1, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better.
FILMLIKE 3:
Compared with FILM LIKE 2, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better.
CINE-LIKE V:
Video-use cine Gamma characteristics.
This is a Gamma curve to make a movie-like picture using a video camera. It creates apicture where more importance is placed on contrast than in normal video mode recording.
CINE-LIKE D:
Film-use cine Gamma characteristics.
This Gamma gives priority to the Dynamic Range and maintains the gradation that ranges
evenly from low to high level. It creates a unique look which is sometimes used as an artistic
effect.
STILL-LIKE:This is a Gamma curve to make digital still camera-like picture using a video camera.
