- Essentially a correctional custom tone curve for the Nikon D70 - Corrects underexposure - Maximises the total amount of detail captured by the Nikon D70 sensor - Maximises details captured from black to white - No bias on any part of the linear tone data - E.g. no tonal shifting - No colour shifting - No un-natural re-production of tonal response - Tone curve is calibrated to capture pure RAW accuracy - Captures accurate colours - Captures accurate contrast - Curve is scientifically measured using charts to maximise the capability of the Nikon D70's digital sensor, see the technical specification for more details...
Technical Specification
- Calibrated based on 18% gray output - Measured at 119 for 18% gray output based on RGB 709 CV data ouput values - Calibrated to capture much more highlight detail - Highlight mapping to147 to achieve pure white based on measured values - Calibrated based on colour chart - Measured the output of each colour square on the chart - Tweaked the curve points to ensure the output data of the tone curve matches EXACTLY the expected reflectance of each colour on the colour chart. - Tweaked the gamma to ensure exposure correction based on the reflectance output of cell 7 or medium gray from the colour chart based on an RGB 709 CV value of 119. - Measuring the colour and gray scale based on charts the curve was tweaked to re-map the sensor exactly using the tone curve based on the reflectance data of the charts. - This ensure pure accuracy, exposure correction and accurate colour output - All these calibrations are within the contraints of the Nikon D70's digital sensor - Calibrated on firmware version 2 and tested on version 1
Tone Curve Calibration information
- 2 different Nikon D70 bodies to calculate the difference in metering to produce a tone with an average exposure - Assortment of lenses to calculate a target average exposure and calibration - Measured using aRGB colour space to ensure the colour values from the colour chart were accurate and fair - Camera settings : Hue 0, Sharpening 0, WB preset custom - Measured tonal output from NEF data - Colour Chart - Grayscale chart
