It effectively softens or sharpens images, but in some cases, the whole image may becomerough due to emphasized noise and edges. To avoid such problems, it is necessary not to add this effect on parts where emphasizing is not needed andkeep the details of the parts.r General settings[MASTER DTL]: Sets the level of the detail effect of the whole part.[DTL CORING]: Sets the level of signal (including noise) not to activate the detail effect.r Advanced settingsSet in the main menu → [SCENE FILE] → [DETAIL SETTING].[DETAIL]: Sets [ON]/[OFF] of the detail function.[V.DTL LEVEL]: Sets the intensity of the detail level in the vertical direction.[H.DTL FREQ.]: Sets the thickness of the detail level in the horizontal direction.[V. DTL FREQ.]: Sets the thickness of the detail level in the vertical direction.[LEVEL DEPEND.]: When the detail of luminosity signal is emphasized, details in the darker parts are compressed. Details of bright areas are alsocompressed more when the value set for [LEVEL DEPEND.] is larger.[KNEE APE LVL]: Sets the detail level of high luminosity areas (high-brightness areas).[DTL GAIN(+)]: Sets the detail level of + direction (to make brighter).[DTL GAIN(−)]: Sets the detail level of − direction (to make darker).Skin tone functionThis function makes human skin look smoother in images.R-Y0255255R MgBG CyYlB-Y/0°Q axisI axisFig. 1[I CENTER][Q WIDTH][Q PHASE][I WIDTH]r General settings[SKIN TONE DTL A]/[SKIN TONE DTL B]/[SKIN TONE DTL C]: Selects what kind of skin color where the skin tone detail function should work fromthe three data [SKIN TONE DTL A]/[SKIN TONE DTL B]/[SKIN TONE DTL C].

Within those ranges, set the area onwhich the following skin tone is applied, using the axis across red and cyan (I axis) and the axis across green and magenta (Q axis).[I CENTER]: Sets the center position on the I axis (the area where the skin tone applied).[I WIDTH]: Sets the area width where the skin tone is applied, along the I axis with [I CENTER] in the center.[Q WIDTH]: Sets the area width where the skin tone is applied, along the Q axis with [I CENTER] in the center.[Q PHASE]: Sets the phase where the skin tone is applied, with the Q axis being the reference.
