5.7.8 Reverse scan
When the camera is used in a mounted at a rotated angle use the reverse scan feature to
digitally rotate the camera’s image to compensate. Go to the INSTALL\REVERSE SCAN menu
to switch reverse scan on or off and to select the scan mode (horizontal, vertical or both
rotations).
5.7.9 Black stretch
The black stretch function changes the level of detail in the shadow areas of the picture
without effecting the rest of the picture. Set the Black stretch switch to the On position to
switch on the black stretch function.
The Video menu allows you to adjust the black stretch parameters. Black stretch values above
50 produce more detail in the shadow areas, while values lower that 50 reduce the detail (this
is often referred to as Black Press). The default value is 99.
When black stretch is switched on the Non-standard indicator in the viewfinder lights.
5.7.10 Auto skin detail
Use skin detail to change the detail level in a selected colour range. Decreasing the detail level
of a persons skin colour softens only the skin tones. But not only skin colours can be selected,
for example, decrease the detail level of a soccer field to accentuate the soccer players or
increase the skin detail level to accentuate a rough surface.
Carry out the Auto skin detail procedure as follows:
1. In the VIDEO\SKIN\SKIn menu, select the memory position skin 1 or skin 2 (not 1+2).
2. Place the cursor in front of the VIDEO\SKIN\AUTO item.
3. Press the Select button. The following appears in the viewfinder.
4. Point two small white boxes at the intended surface.
5. Press the Select button to start the measurement procedure (the iris is set to Auto). The
process running message appears:
