Sony 900, 930, 950 manual Electronic Soft Focus

3	(7) Electronic Soft Focus
	This function is similar to an optical soft filter. By
	subtracting the edge enhancement signal from the
	original video signal, slight 'defocused' pictures are
	created electronically. This is an important new
	creative feature that can be used to either complement
	or replace the Skin Tone Detail Correction function,
	when more of a 'film look' is sought for close-ups, etc.
