Using the Skin Detail Function

With the skin detail function, areas in the picture that have skin-tone characteristics will be detected, and

the details in these areas will be softened in order to conceal skin imperfections. On the screen, those E skin areas will be identified by a zebra pattern alternating with the normal picture (on a connected TV or computer screen they will appear in white instead).

You can adjust the hue, chroma, area and Y level as required, to determine the areas that will be detected as skin areas.
