I wish this shipped in the box with the camera! It actually explains all of the primary functions in easy to understand terms.

+1 as well, very useful and to the point (although a bit on audio would of been nice, just to cover all the bases...).

This is great! Thank you so much.

Gamma settings
 

I went through the Sony FS700 manual. The Picture Profile Gamma section explanation is a little vague to me. Can anyone better explain what each Cine accomplishes? I normally use Cine 1 for overcast lighting or bright skies Cine 3 for subjects with even illumination, Cine 4 for high contrast situation. For the most part I just eyeball it and pay attention to the histogram. I'm trying to be a little methodical about choosing the right Cine for a given subject.

If it helps to understand the shapes of the different curves here are the different curves shot on a DSC Linear Ramp with knee and toe on factory defaults. "OFF" and "STANDARD" with defaults seem to be the same. This chart obviously can't give us a full 14 stops of reference, but it nicely demonstrates the strengths and weaknesses of the different curves.

I am building a backlit test chart that will allow testing of 14 or more stops.

I look forward to seeing your test chart when it's ready will you be posting it here on the forum? thanks again Tim.

The handbook seems to have disappeared from Sony's site. I luckily had downloaded the pdf. PM if you need it.

It looks like many of you have not updated your email addresses in your profile so I get a bounce-back when emailing you the link.

Instead I've decided just to post the link to the pdf that I put in my dropbox.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/93x19e9yno...dbook.pdf?dl=0
