Panasonic HDC-HS100 Operating Instructions Manual page 52

Soft skin mode:
If the background or anything else in the scene
has colours similar to the skin colour, they will
also be smoothed.
If the brightness is insufficient, the effect may
not be clear.
If you record a person in the distance, the face
may not be recorded clearly. In this case,
cancel soft skin mode or zoom in on the face
(close-up) to record.
Colour night view:
Recorded scene is seen as if frames were
missed.
If set in a bright place, the screen may become
washed out for a while.
Colour night view function makes dark scenes
that are usually invisible can be recorded in
bright colours. For this reason, bright dots that
are usually invisible may be seen, but this is
not a malfunction.
Attach this unit to a tripod, and you can record
images free from vibration.
In darker areas, auto focus may focus a bit
slower. This is normal. If there is difficulty
focusing with auto focus, manually adjust the
focus.
Tele macro:
The tele macro function is cancelled when the
zoom magnification becomes lower than 12 .
If a sharper focus cannot be achieved, adjust
the focus manually. (F 66)
