4.8.7 Black stretch
The black stretch function gives more detail in the dark areas of the picture without
effecting the rest of the picture. Set the
Black stretch switch (7) to the On position to
switch on the black stretch function.
When black stretch is switched on the Non-standard indicator (33) in the viewfinder
lights. The Video menu allows you to adjust the black stretch parameters.
4.8.8 Auto skin contour
Use skin contour to change the contour level in a selected colour range. Decreasing the
contour level of a persons skin colour softens only the skin tones. But not only skin
colours can be selected, for example, decrease the contour level of a soccer field to
accentuate the soccer players or increase the skin contour level to accentuate a rough
surface.
Carry out the Auto skin contour procedure as follows:
1. In the
VIDEO\SKIN\SKI
n menu, select the memory position skin 1 or 2 (not
1+2).
2. Place the cursor in front of the
VIDEO\SKIN\AUTO
item.
3. Press the Select button (13). The following appears in the viewfinder.
