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.
