Skin Detail Function

With the skin detail function you can set the camcorder to detect the characteristics of a certain color or

tone. Detail in the targeted areas will be softened in order to conceal skin imperfections. Targeted areas

will be identified on the screen by a zebra pattern alternating with the normal picture. On a connected

monitor or computer, targeted areas will be identified by white areas alternating with the normal picture.

You can adjust the hue, chroma, area and Y level as required, to determine the areas that will be

detected as skin areas.

Determining the Tone to be Detected as Skin Area

1. Open the menu, select [CAMERA SETUP] and then select the [SKIN DETAIL]

submenu.

2. Select each setting option, adjust the levels as necessary and close the menu.

• [HUE]: Adjust the hue for detection of the skin area. 13 levels (-6 to 6) are available; set [+] values

to detect hues closer to red or [-] values to detect hues closer to green.

• [CHROMA]: Adjust the color saturation for detection of the skin area. 13 levels (-6 to 6) are available;

set higher levels to detect areas with richer colors.

• [AREA]: Adjust the color range for detection of the skin area. 13 levels (-6 to 6) are available; set

higher levels to detect a wider color range.
