Be sure to perform “Save to memory” after entering and exiting the Gamma adjustment mode. If the values are changed in the Gamma adjustment mode and the original values cannot be restored, turn off the power to the unit and turn it on again. The UF data does not change even if the mode for Advanced Iris in Cinema Black Pro in Picture Adjust is changed without performing “Save to memory”. When “Save to memory” is performed at that time, the UF data of each Iris mode will be overwritten and lost.
