Flesh tone

With this function "ON", the Plasma Monitor automatically produces a
more vivid image according to the image condition.

Cinema auto

With this function "ON", the Plasma Monitor automatically detects the
telecine-processed signal and produces a suitable image for the
input source.

NOTE :
Telecine transfer is the process of changing images
from film mode to video mode.
While film runs at 24 frames per second (fps), NTSC
television signals (or video) have a run rate of 30fps so
the 24 fps film needs to be speeded up to 30fps and
transferred using a proper field pattern to get them
play smoothly on TV.
