Advanced Pure Color Engine and Pure Color Engine
High-performance image processing
The Advanced Pure Color Engine is a special image processing circuit for
3CCD camera systems. It processes the R.G and B signals from the three
CCDs individually, so it gives both moving and still pictures exceptional
quality. And the Pure Color Engine converts the CCD output signal from
a complementary color signal into an RGB signal at an early stage and
extracts the low-frequency luminance component from the RGB signal.
This innovative engine also achieves truly superb color reproduction for
high-zoomed pictures.

Soft Skin Detail
Give your subjects smoother looking skin
When this function detects skin tones, it softens the focus in that area.
This has a skin beautifying effect, which makes wrinkles and lines
appear less noticeable. When turned on, this function makes blemishes
and moles look less conspicuous, while preserving resolution in areas of
the picture outside of the skin.
