Colour night view

to stand out against the background.

 

Minimum required illumination: approx. 2 lx

Attach this unit to a tripod, and you can record images free from vibration.

If it is difficult to focus, adjust the focus manually. (l 46)

Soft skin mode

This makes skin colours appear softer for a more attractive

 

appearance.

 

This is more effective if you record a person closely from the

 

torso up.
