Creative Versatility
Definition – Picture Sharpness
The HDW-F900R produces extremely delicate pictures with
fine detail. The CCDs, each with 2.2 million pixels, faithfully
capture images with natural sharpness. The HDW-F900R also
incorporates some new and innovative image enhancement
functions, allowing very precise control of the way the
picture texture and edges are represented.
The first of these new features is Soft Focus. The Soft Focus
adjustment is particularly convenient for those who find
conventional digital images to be too sharp and allows
cinematic pictures to be created. In concert with optical
filtration, this additional digital filtration can add a new
creative extension to the treatment of image softness – and it
can be optimized in real-time on the shoot.
The second feature, Adaptive Detail Control (also known as
Knee Aperture), allows the image detail enhancement in the
highlight areas to look more natural.
The third feature is Skin Tone Detail. This controls the detail
level of objects with specific color tonality. It is particularly
useful when shooting talents with the intent to creatively alter
and soften the texture of their facial appearance while the
remainder of the scene retains its full crispness. Within
selected areas, details can be enhanced as well as softened.
This can be a powerful imaging tool not available in film
shooting. Three sets of such correction parameters can be
applied simultaneously.
