Skin Detail Correction/Skin Matrix Adjustment (for DXC-D30/D35/D50 Series Only)

The skin detail and skin matrix functions can adjust detail level and matrix (saturation and hue) of a selected skin gate area (area designated by color range).

Once a skin gate area has been selected, it can be used as a target for both skin detail correction and skin matrix adjustment, and activation of each function can be performed independently.

Selecting the skin gate area

Normally, use the SKIN DTL SETUP button of the AUTO SETUP block to designate the skin gate position (target color) automatically.

1 Press and light the SKIN DTL SETUP button (ON).

The window which shows the skin gate and target area appears in the camera’s viewfinder.

You can also see the skin gate with a picture output from the CCU’s PIX connector.

2 Press the START button.

The skin gate is designated automatically.

When using a DXC-D30/D35-series camera, you can manually adjust the position of the designated skin gate in Paint menu.

Performing skin detail correction

By skin detail correction, you can lower the detail level of the skin gate area to the detail level outside of the area.

1 Press and light the SKIN DETAIL button (ON).

2 Select [Skin Detail] in Paint menu 2.

3 Set the detail correction level using the leftmost control knob (Level).

Setting the level to the max. value (+99): The detail level of the area is set to the lowest level.

Setting the level to the min. value (0): The detail level of the area is set to the same level with the outside of the area. (The same situation as the skin detail function is set to off.)

If you power off the unit or store the current settings as a scene file while setting the detail level to the minimum value, the skin detail function will be set to off when you power on the unit or recall the scene file next time.

To store the skin detail settings

Set the SKIN DETAIL button on before powering off the unit or storing the settings as a scene file. If the button is off, the skin detail settings will not be stored.

Performing skin matrix adjustment

Follow the procedure described below to adjust the matrix (saturation and hue) of the skin gate area.

1 Select [Skin Matrix] in Paint menu 3.

2 Set [Skin Matrix] to ON.

3 Set the saturation and hue using the leftmost control knob (Hue) or the second control knob (Sat) from the left.

Selecting 00 causes the same situation as the skin matrix function is set off.

If you power off the unit or store the current settings as a scene file while selecting 00, the skin matrix function will be set to off when you power on the unit or recall the scene file next time.

Note

When using the DXC-D30 series, this adjustment is valid when the matrix adjustment function is active.

To store the skin matrix settings

Activate both the matrix adjustment and skin matrix adjustment functions before powering off the unit or storing the settings as a scene file. Otherwise, the skin matrix settings will not be stored.
